How’s this sound?:

Rolled over, dismasted, injured back, gashed head, water in the boat- Ian Herbert Jones message to Race control in storm gusting over 90 kts with confused sea.

Ian Herbert Jones unable to deploy his drogue was hand-steering in heavy weather 50 kts gusting 80kts with 7.7mtr sea and dangerous counter sea.

Yellow Brick distress signal was manually activated at 1725 UTC, 25 minutes after Ian missed a scheduled safety call, informing GGR he had been rolled.

GGR Crisis Management Team (CMT) informed CROSS Griz-Nez, UK Coast guards Agency and MRCC Argentina who are directing rescue operations.

It gets worse.
