to Telstra Radio on Young Endeavour that a crew member had been recovered
after falling overboard at 1840 hours off Flinders Island.

It's not known at this stage who the crew member is, but we can report that the
recovery was rapid, the crew member is OK and the boat is proceeding south in the
race.

At this afternoon's (1405 hours) position report, Ninety Seven was leading on IMS
