Default Alain Deloard, abandoned yacht in the Southern Ocean

Grave concerns for sailor adrift on a liferaft south of Tasmania as rescue described as a 'very big if'

"Alain Deloard, 63, an accomplished French sailor with 17 trans-Atlantic voyages under his belt, abandoned his fibreglass yacht after activating an emergency beacon on Friday.

"A plane has been able to pick up a signal from the sailor and he appears to be in a liferaft, so there are grave concerns for his safety," said Joel Katz, chief executive of Sydney-based Orion Expeditions, whose flagship vessel MV Orion is scheduled to rendezvous with the life raft at 6pm tomorrow.

What gave out on the boat, to cause him to abandon it?
What can we learn from that ?
