PUBLISHED ON July 11th, 2017 The jury in the trial of Douglas Innes and Stormforce Coaching, operators of the yacht Cheeki Rafiki that capsized mid-Atlantic in 2014 leading to the loss of
four crew members, has retired to consider its verdict. After more than a day of summing up from the judge, Mr Justice Dingemans, the jury at Winchester Crown Court has retired to consider
the evidence in the complex month-long trial relating to the deaths of Andrew Bridge, 22, James Male, 22, Steve Warren, 52, and Paul Goslin, 56. All four died when the Beneteau 40.7 Cheeki
Rafiki capsized mid-Atlantic on a return trip from Antigua Sailing Week to Southampton in May 2014. Doug Innes, 42, the director of Stormforce Coaching Limited, denies four counts of
manslaughter by gross negligence. FULL STORY ON YACHTINGWORLD.COM. TAGS: Cheeki Rafiki, Douglas Innes
