Looking to pick up a new coastal/offshore jacket ideally HL/Musto/Gill/Slam etc.  Anyone know a decent chandlery in the Toronto area?

Folks I'm in Miami south beach for Christmas and it's blowing a pretty decent SE force 3-4. I've been stuck in landlocked Alberta all year and am jonesing for a spin in a laser/Finn anything. Been sailing since I was a kid and it's killing me that I can't get out on the water. Any suggestions...

Evening folks, Supposed to be attending a wedding in/around Nassau in late October. There's a group of us travelling together, two couples and four mates, and I'm keen to sell them on a yacht charter for 7-10 days. I'd like something in the 50'-60' range. Trying to avoid Sunsail et al. Has...

No doubt about that! An expensive gesture nonetheless!

Yeah wtf! Must be his "lucky" shorts or something. Also, those coastguard shirts are fresh off the production line!

zzzzzzzzz So bored of this jzk bashing Any news on the VESTAS GROUNDING front? You know.. the topic this thread was started about? Thought Carlin looked shattered and still in a state of shock somewhat giving that interview on the Iside Track last week. Isn't the studio in Alicante? Wonder...

:lol:

Yeah very plausible. During some sailing in Oz years ago, I learned shitloads from an old sea dog from Manly who would pull out the charts and explain everything to me. Had only been a racer up till then as a kid. Blind nav, stars.. all that stuff. I learned pretty quickly to stop pointing out...

My first thoughts exactly! Was about to quote SC then scrolled down.... They're fooling nobody

Can I throw in $10 too?

Interest points indeed

Incredible stuff from all the team, glad you are all safe. Q: Was anything missed or forgotten during the watch change prior to the incident? Was the previous watch aware of the shallows? Hope you guys get back on the water.

100% agree

Debatable.. they were going straight at it. For sure... bearing away would have sent them into it at an angle. Could have crashed gybed it too. but either way it was all too late

Easier said than done with a powered up V65 but agree in principle. Clearly the helm had no idea he was straight-lining into <40m of water "wow." ("You can see the lines here") Which indicates no-one told him. If Nico was on watch that shift, which looks like he was, helm probably...

they skirted Rodrigues Island and the Maldives last time. Didn't one or two of the boats hide in there for repairs? Not sure what the depths were though

Looking at the video again, nobody fell forward but sideways almost. The helm who grabbed onto a grinder was thrown to starboard.
