Safran broke its keel in collision
The "Safran" had to abandon the Vendée Globe Race on Nov 11, 2012, and returned to Sables-d'Olonne at 3 a.m., a few hours after the ship had been struck by an unknown object only 60 miles into the race. The titanium keel was breached below the waterline. The keel will now be subject to metallurgical examinations to determine the cause of the rupture once the boat is hauled out of the water in La Trinité-sur-Mer, its home port. http://www.nordlittoral.fr/actualite/France_Monde/National/Autres_sports/2012/11/12/article_19_sur_20_avec_de_broc_mais_sans_guillem.shtml
