Day two of the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup was the last for Swiss sailor Alexander Scherer' s 72ft Caol Ila R (ex. Alegre) as the mast of the maxi broke between the second and third rudders in an unknown 17 knot wind. As it fell, it knocked down the mainsail and broke the boom in half, but fortunately it did not injure anyone. Despite what happened, Scherer is not discouraged. "We have a few free days in Porto Cervo, there are some cool partiesto go to," he said after the accident.
