Royal Navy officer's yacht collided with oil tanker after straying into shipping lane - Telegraph: "Roland Wilson, a former Royal Navy lieutenant, was accused of negligence yesterday. Mr Wilson and his seven-man crew were on the penultimate leg of the race on the first day of the regatta, when their yacht crashed into the side of the 120,000 ton Hanne Knutsen. It is thought that several serving commanders and chief petty officers were manning the Royal Naval Sailing Association’s 33ft Atalanta of Chester. Thousands of spectators watched from the shore as the mast was ripped off after becoming tangled in the tanker’s anchor, a court was told."
