there is an ariticle in todays paper suggesting that the top gear trio tried to sail their cars across the channel yesterday. apparently 2 of them sank. Unfortunatley it seems clarksons 4x4 became a rescue boat. More unfortunate is that I am guessing james may's mirror/herald sank having won the previous competition.

Anybody confirm this or got any photos.

May article is the coatguard complaining about irresponsible behaviour!

I have seen it in a couple of the freeby papers but it looks like an RS400 mast and sails were used

Looks like they upgraded the rig from the Mirror to one from an RS 400 and James May's Herald promtly sank ....
