  • Olympic gold medallist Andrew Simpson killed as catamaran capsizes

    British Olympic medallist Andrew Simpson has died after his catamaran capsized during an America's Cup training event.

    Andrew Simpson, UK Olympic Champion, Dies
    Andrew Simpson - described as "a true sailing legend" - dies after his catamaran capsizes during training for the America's Cup.

    Olympic gold medallist Andrew Simpson has been killed after his yacht capsized in San Francisco Bay during training for the America's Cup.

    Simpson had been sailing on the Artemis, Sweden's entry in the upcoming race, when the catamaran turned over and he became trapped underneath for about 10 minutes, his racing team said in a statement.

    Attempts were made to revive the 36-year-old both in the water and on the shore, but he was unable to be saved.

    Artemis Racing said: "It is with immense sadness that Artemis Racing confirms the tragic death of crew member Andrew 'Bart' Simpson in San Francisco."

    The team's chief executive Paul Cayard added: "The entire Artemis Racing team is devastated by what happened. Our heartfelt condolences are with Andrew's wife and family."

    Mr Cayard said the boat had been brought "under control", but stressed the team's first concern was to "ensure everyone's well-being".

    Simpson, who served as the Swedish team's strategist, was one of 11

  • British sailor and Olympian Andrew Simpson dies after yacht capsizes

    Simpson was part of Sweden's Artemis team taking part in training for the America's Cup off the California coast.

    The British Olympic sailor Andrew Simpson died on Thursday after his team's ultra-modern yacht capsized in the San Francisco bay and trapped him underwater during training for the America's Cup.

    The 72-foot Artemis catamaran tipped over at 1.15pm local time, plunging its 13-strong crew into the water and trapping Simpson under the vessel's platform for about 10 minutes.

    Rescuers pulled Simpson, 36, into a support boat and an officer from the San Francisco police department's marine unit tried to resuscitate him. He was declared dead about 20 minutes later, said San Francisco fire chief Joanne Hayes-White.

    Simpson won a gold medal in the 2008 Beijing Olympics as a crew member in the star class, and he also took silver last year at the London Games.

    "The entire team is devastated by what happened," said Artemis chief executive Paul Cayard, a sailing world champion and America's Cup veteran. "Our heartfelt condolences are with Andrew's wife and family."
    One other crew member was hurt but his condition was not said to be serious. The rest of the crew escaped unharmed and was taken to its nearby base at Alameda, where members were said to be in tears.

    The coastguard said winds were a little above normal when the bo

    Tributes have been paid to British Olympic sailing hero Andrew Simpson, who has died after his yacht capsized during training for the America’s Cup race.

    The 36-year-old, nicknamed 'Bart', was trapped under the 72-foot catamaran in a training accident on the Artemis catamaran in San Francisco Bay, California.

    A statement from Sir Ben Ainslie's Oracle team read: "Today is a sad day for all of us in the sailing community. Andrew Simpson was a great person, a terrific sailor, and a good friend to all of our team.

    "Our thoughts are with his family and the entire Artemis team. He will be dearly missed."

    The Royal Yachting Association (RYA) and British Sailing Team said they were "devastated" to confirm Simpson's death while sailing the 72ft yacht yesterday.

    John Derbyshire, RYA's performance director: "We're devastated by the news from San Francisco today.

    "Andrew is someone I've worked closely with since the age of 16 - he was a great talent, and a key figure in our World Class Programme over many years culminating in his well-deserved Olympic success.

    "He was a huge inspiration to others, both within the British Sailing Team and across the nation and our deepest s
