YACHTING: Sir Robin Knox-Johnston rejoins Five Oceans Race

The veteran yachtsman Sir Robin Knox-Johnston has rejoined the Velux 5 Oceans race, after a storm damaged his vessel earlier this week. Sir Robin, who became the first man to sail solo non-stop around the world 37 years ago, was forced to seek harbour when his yacht 'Saga Insurance' needed emergency repairs. Shortly before re-joining the competition he said he was not expecting an easy passage. Knox-Johnstone and crew members prepare boat/ Robin Knox Johnstone interview
