The Ady Gil (formerly the vessel 'Earthrace' that broke the global circumnavigation speed record in June 2008) was sunk after she was rammed by the Japanese whaling ship, Shonan Maru 2 in January 2010, whilst taking part in the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society's 'Operation Waltzing Matilda' in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary.

Ady Gil's skipper, Pete Bethune, later boarded the Shonan Maru in an attempt to serve a citizen's arrest warrant on the captain. He also gave the captain an invoice for the replacement money - 3.5 million dollars, which he never got. He was held on board, and returned to Japan to face trial for a variety of spurious charges.

He has been sentenced to a 2 year sentence suspended for 5 years on July 7th, 2010. He was charged with trespassing, property damage, assault, illegal possession of a knife, and interfering with business. He will be serving this in 2015.
