AMAN who capsized in horrendous conditions in the Atlantic revealed his boat had washed ashore two years on.
Ross Hobson, of Ponteland, was taking part in the Route du Rhum yacht race in November 2006 when his catamaran, named Mollymawk, was flipped over in high seas.
He was rescued by a freighter called Carmen after enduring eight hours alone in the darkness of the upturned hull.
And two years later, his battered boat was found washed up on a beach in the Bahamas.
Mollymawk was found on Eleuthera Island in the Bahamas, 250 miles east of Miami, Florida, and 2,000 miles west of where it capsized.
