The Mysterious Disappearance of Sir Coombe Navvygate

Shock, horror! In the lead up to the most prestigious round-the-world yacht race departing from Cowes, race favourite Sir Coombe Navvygate was found slumped on one of the mid-Solent sandbanks! Mystery surrounds this misadventure, as the bank is only exposed for two hours before the tide hides it again. Local police are floating the idea that this could be the work of a jealous rival desperate to take out the competition. Now all of the other competitors are under suspicion for Sir Coombe's demise. Chief Inspector Anya Marks needs TOP Detectives to submerge themselves into these inquiries and solve the mystery. Can YOU wade through the evidence and reveal 'whodunnit'? Chief Marks has a sinking feeling about this case - so buoy her up by dampening someone's day!
