Baku-APA. Argentina’s navy says a yacht returning from Antarctica smashed ashore in a storm near the city of Ushuaia, killing two Polish brothers and injuring five other people, APA reports quoting news.yahoo.com website.
Navy Lieutenant Martin Ribeiro says the yacht’s crew had engine trouble in the Beagle Channel amid near- hurricane-force winds of 110 kmh (68 mph). They managed to drop anchor near the Argentine shore, but their mast broke and then waves of 5 meters (16 feet) snapped the line, smashing the boat against the rocks.
Ribeiro said Thursday that Marek and Pawel Radwanski were thrown into the sea and killed during Monday’s storm.
Marek Radwanski was deputy chairman of Intersport. The Polish sporting goods company says the loss is painful but the company is stable.
