A British woman is to be evacuated from an ocean race after being injured during a violent storm.
She was one of two crew members hurt as hurricane-force winds caused havoc in the Indian Ocean.
Michelle Porter, 36, from London, suffered a suspected broken arm as the fleet struggled to cope with the conditions.
She will be taken to a hospital in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, for treatment.
Her yacht, Derry-Londonderry-Doire, was hit by a wave which knocked it sideways.
The boat's medic, Susie Redhouse, was also injured as the storm hit.
Skipper Sean McCarter said: "We eventually got them both down below and out of their life jackets and dry suits to begin the examination.
"Susie's arm turned out to be a bad bang but Michelle is still in her bunk and we suspect it could be broken."
The 11-month Clipper Round the World Yacht Race began in London in September and the fleet have completed around a quarter of the 40,000-mile course.
