British sailor, killed during Clipper yacht race, buried at sea
Amateur sailor, Sarah Young, who died while competing in a global yacht race, was buried at sea by her team at 1am on Sunday.
As she was laid to rest in a service drawing upon centuries-old maritime traditions, sailors aboard the other 11 yachts gathered and remembered her with a minute's silence.
Ms Young was swept away in strong winds while taking part in the global world yacht event just six months after the death of another British sailor, Andrew Ashman, who was killed while aboard the same vessel, the IchorCoal.
