Our favorite sleeker-than-sleek sailing yacht, Maximus, sailed across the finish line first in the Rolex Fastnet race. This race was also the return of Simon Le Bon to the race that nearly ended his life 20 years ago. Le Bon won't finish this time either but not because of any mishap. His boat was puttering along so slowly that they decided not to finish the race so that Le Bon could make a concert in Tokyo this weekend. Le Bon said he had a great time and will try the race again.
