Wild Eyes is a VERY well built Open 40 (she's been in Newport a couple times and I've been on her) and is Cat 0.
Wild Eyes is designed for travel in the Southern Ocean and is equipped with 5 air-tight bulkheads to keep her buoyant in the event of major hull damage. It is built to Category 0 standards and is designed to self-right in the event of capsize.
So far what I'm hearing is she went through a couple knockdowns. Probably lost the rig.
