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.
"It was very frightening. One minute everything was fine; we were going beautifully. The next we were going over," said Le Bon. "I am very lucky to be alive."
A Royal Navy helicopter rescued all 24 people aboard the yacht after a diver freed the six who were trapped under the vessel. The eighteen others managed to climb onto the overturned vessel. All 24 members of the crew were reported to be in good condition, but some showed signs of hypothermia and one man had a cut on his head.
"It was a terrible, frightening experience. But it's not put me off sailing," Le Bon said.
Le Bon was asleep below deck when the vessel's keel sheared off in 50-mph winds off southwestern England.
"We obviously were in very great danger because the sea is a dangerous place and people lose their lives there," Le Bon said.
"We heard the helicopter arrive and we presumed that they would be carrying a diver. So we waited inside the hull until he came and actually brought us out to safety," he said.
The Drum of England was among leaders in the grueling 600-mile when the accident occurred. Experienced yachtsmen said the vessel must have struck a rock.
A coast guard officer saw the yacht capsize and a Royal Navy helicopter was on its way to the scene within six minutes, authorities said.
The hero of the rescue was diver Petty Officer Larry Slater, 32, who pulled Le Bon and his companions out of the cabin.
"Your going to have to take a deep breath and swim," Slater said he told the men after it proved too difficult to get lifejackets and goggles to them. "I dragged them out one by one."
"I grabbed hold of their feet, pulled them through the hatch. Then I grabbed them by the scruff of the neck and they had to swim for the light," Slater said.
Slater and his two fellow rescuers said they had no idea they were rescuing one of Britain's biggest heartthrobs and Princess Diana's favorite pop singer.
"I don't know how long they could have held out-perhaps an hour," Slater said. "There was a lot of oil in the water in the hatch and the fumes were pretty toxic."
"It's such a freak accident, it's beyond belief," said Skip Novak, the American captain of the yacht. "I don't think the gravity has set in about what's happened. Now we're just living in a state of euphoria because we're all here."
The gales that lashed Britain this weekend forced 88 of the 236 competitors out of the Fastnet race. Veteran sailors described conditions as similar to those during the 1979 race when seven boats sank and 15 crewmen drowned.
