Ich suche den Namen eines bekannten Musikers, der beim Fastnet Race 1985 mit der Yacht "Drum Of England" südlich von Falmouth kenterte und später aus einer Luftblase gerettet werden konnte.

TITLE: Rock idol Le Bon escapes death after yacht capsizes

COWES, Isle of Wight(From Tribune Wire Reports) -- Simon Le Bon of the British band Duran Duran said he felt "very lucky to be alive" after his yacht capsized and trapped him underwater for 40 minutes.

Le Bon, 26, lead singer of the rock group, and five crewmen huddled in an air pocket in waist-deep, oily water before a diver for the Royal Navy rescued them.

The Drum of England, a 77-foot, $1.35-million ocean racing yacht, lost its keel yesterday in gales three miles off Falmouth, on the southwest coast of England. The accident occurred near the final race of the Admiral's Cup series.
