Last seen in 2009!

This is pretty bizarre but it looks like he died doing what he loved.

Excellent find, Rick.

I wouldn't mind going that way. Kinda like Greek or Roman mythology or Kirk Douglas in "The Vikings."

Bill, I wonder how he stayed upright in the nav seat with a rolling ocean? It looks like the boat is listing to port at least 45 degrees, if the nav station is on the starboard side, you'd think he would have fell out. At least he was doing what h loved.

I think he's just asleep.

Seriously, the boat drifts 7 years in all weather? And people keep abandoning their boats into little bitty plastic life rafts?

Found by Clipper Race -Video

Apparently Sayo was first found by a Clipper Race Team on a leg from Austrailia to Viet Nam. They video taped their discovery. Full story on Sailfeed.

Is this the same boat? It doesn't appear to be listing at all. Mystery wrapped in an enigma.
