Helmsnan died after falling over board
The 50 year old helmsman Glenn Vandewalle of the 'Jerki-Z 45' from Knokke-Heist died after falling overboard in British waters off Eastbourne on the night of Jan 4, 2025. . he British coastal rescue service immediately responded, but the rough sea and strong wind made the rescue operation complicated. Eventually, Glenn was pulled out of the water by his crew mates, but his life could not be saved. It is still unclear what exactly happened and how the man ended up in the water. The ship, with the deceased man on board, arrived in Ostend on Jan 5 shortly after 1 p.m. and berthed at the Natiën Quay. An autopsy should now provide more clarity about the cause of his death.
