Lead singer Simon Le Bon of the rock group Duran Duran spent 20 minutes trapped in an underwater air pocket with five crewmen after his 77-foot yacht capsized three miles off Falmouth, England, during the final race of the Admiral’s Cup series. A Royal Navy helicopter rescued all 24 aboard after a diver freed the six from inside the hull. The other 18 had managed to free themselves. None of the crew was injured. The yacht, named Drum, was one of about 215 boats participating in the race but not competing for the cup.
