The heroic skipper of an ocean-going yacht went down with his vessel in a violent storm after first making sure his two crewmen were safely inside their emergency life raft.Captain Benno Frey, 72, ran into a tempest with 60mph winds and 25ft-tall waves which battered his 54ft-long boat until it began taking on seawater and started sinking quickly on March 14. His modern yacht should have weathered the strong storm but it is believed to have struck a container washed off a cargo ship, which left a hole below the water line.
