California Yacht Club Mourns Member Killed in Sail Boat Race - ABC News: "A California yacht club is mourning the death today of one of its members who was killed in a sail boat race over the weekend. Craig Thomas Williams, a 36-year-old married father, was killed, and five crew members were injured when their sailboat, christened Uncontrollabe Urge, lost steering and broke apart in the surf. "[Williams] was a very integral member at our yacht club and it's a tragic loss," said Carey Storm, the commodore of the Silver Gate Yacht Club. "To have one of our top racers to go out and for a weekend of a competitive race and have it end in tragedy, the loss of life, the loss of… injuries, the trauma to the entire crew, the loss of the vessel…It's just really difficult," Storm told ABC News' San Diego affiliate. . . ."
