Time is moving on. I felt that if he had come to grief some wreckage would have been located and as it hadn't he might be just taking some time out. By now his food would have run out and police tentacles should have discovered any attempts to restock. I hope something happens very soon!
What puzzles me is his phone it sounds like it was disconnected it never rang out nothing even around early December
This is very frustrating - no breakthroughs yet.
His family must be going crazy with worry.
Let's hope he is found safe and well and soon!
The water police are recovering the boat.See courier mail.Thank you all for your efforts and hopefully the family will get some answers as to what went wrong
Very sad outcome , yacht found 177nm off Coffs Harbour with no one aboard

To Eero's family, our thoughts and prayers are with you.
If I could tell them one thing, it would be to let them know that Eero is part of another family too, one of souls that share the same passion in what he loves doing. To Eero's family, I wish I could assure you that you are not alone in this ordeal, though you may never know them, people from all over, from all walks of life and all that sail, are feeling a genuine sense of worry and concern about Eero, like he was our brother too.
We hope, and we pray to our gods.

Eero, the sailor we did not get to meet at the get together. Rest in peace Eero. This is a sad reminder to us all not to be complacent with our safety. Our thoughts are with all Eeno's family and friends.

I hope there is some evidence of what happened, a broken jackstay or tether maybe. Losing a life at sea is always a waste but it would be a nice legacy if something came from the loss.
Oh no, how sad.
My condolences to his family and friends.
I agree Morningbird, if we can find out what happened, maybe we can all learn something from it.
What happened to the little dog I wonder?
So very sad. RIP Eero.
To Eero's family, I couldn't say it better than Shaggybaxter, so I echo his words. Deepest condolences to you.

Rest in Peace Eero. I hadn't met him, I didnt know him. I'm pretty sure though, he'd been out there doing the thing he loved - sailing and being on the sea.
Deepest condolences to his family.
So sad….
Eero, our brother of the sea, you touched on us all. Your memory will help ensure we all stay extra vigilant when enjoying the special tranquility of solo sailing.
Rest in peace, fella.
From the phone call i received I was told the French navy came across Eeros boat they tried radio contact with no reply so they boarded the boat set the epirb off and removed any computers and comunication devices
The sails were shredded
Eero had a ST4000 and a full set of tack tic wireless instruments
