Ferry Officer Ignored Yachtsmen
Three yachtsmen may have survived had a P&O car ferry officer not ignored evidence his ship may have sunk or swamped their boat, a court heard.
Michael Hubble has denied manslaughter through gross negligence and engaging in conduct likely to cause death or serious injury to the three men.
The three yachtsmen included Jason Downer, Trustee of Business & Education London South, and two of his close friends Rupert Saunders and James Meaby.
The Ouzo left Bembridge on the Isle of Wight on 20th August to sail to Devon for the Dartmouth Regatta, but it never arrived.
The trail continues.
