Spanish sailor dies while training

Death has rocked the Spanish America's Cup challengers, who have lost one of their top crewmen in a training accident.

Martin Wizner died instantly when he was hit in the head after the block of the genoa halyard broke.

The Spanish cup crew were out training in Valencia in 12 knots of breeze when the accident happened.

Wizner sailed for Spain in the 1995 America's Cup and was regarded as one of his country's leading yachtsmen.
