Video of the helicopter rescue 13/11/09 of the BT co-skippers Jean-François Cuzon & Sébastien Josse. Thank goodness that they are now safe. It is not such a simple story concerning the salvage of the boat.

4 days after the co-skippers abandoned their boat, the operation to recover the BT Imoca boat is still ongoing and facing ongoing difficulties. Source: Jacques Vabre: "Last night the tow rope to BT broke and since then the tug has been standing by through the hours of darkness awaiting the best chance to re-attach a line. With a storm approaching due to bring big seas and 50 knot gusts then time is running out with the boat still 83 miles from safe haven."
