“Next of kin have been informed and all our thoughts are now with Sarah’s family, teammates, and loved ones on and off the race,” organisers said in a statement published on the official race website (www.clipperroundtheworld.com).
“Skipper Darren Ladd reports that Sarah was tidying the cockpit after reefing the mainsail in 35-40 knots of wind, when she was knocked from her position by a wave.
“She fell back toward the guard wire and was swept under it by another wave.”
