highly unlikely just finding it would have been difficult and expensive

st georges?

if it's under tow.., that's more interesting i guess the part that's hard to believe is that anyone would think it worthwhile to tow it anywhere

well. that would be the third or fourth time that we know of, and i wouldn't be surprised if it had also been spotted by people who didn't think it was worth reporting. so, i hardly think that simply spotting the hull would merit the claim that "you'll never believe it"

to be more clear.., they are not typically trying to identify and count all microbursts in the radar zone in real time. the numbers are based on post-processing of the records - which isn't regularly done for all stations. anyway.., some seasons are more active than others.., but i think that...

one of the ways in which microbursts are identified is by doppler radar in parts of the USA susceptible to microbursts - SE, midwest - a single radar station might identify 20-30.., to ~150 individual microbursts over the season that they occur, which is typically sometime in the spring...

wrong they are common in mid latitudes

maybe not the same photo.., but one was posted in the thread over in multihull anarchy a while back

Did anybody ever suggest the GB55 was a good boat for high latitudes?

from an insurance point of view, the boat is almost certainly totaled, so for the owner it probably doesn't make any difference

The photo became available after the interview, and was never posted here.

really.., i think that's a little ungenerous... the one monohull that tribe didn't beat is a Volvo 70 - and they were pretty close to tied... 3:04:02 vs 2:58:37 - a delta of about 5 1/2 minutes out of ~180 minutes PJ's main claim is that GB's have the speed of racing monohulls, but with a...

Ok - i saw the props mentioned in a few threads, in what appeared to be a pretty sarcastic manner.., and i was just wondering why the pitchfork mob was so interested in them.

is the difference really significant? either would be scary under the circumstances

just so i'm up to date... is it the case that some people don't believe CB when he says he saw the props?

i think the GB RIB's are all carbon

that's ridiculous small problems can often lead to a hull loss - sometimes the boat might be deeply flawed, but often it's a simple fix i think this is more like the simple fix we were told that water flowing down into one of the hulls was a significant factor in wanting to get off the door...

in what way are the photos "embarrassing"?

in what way is the boat "deeply flawed" for reasons outlined a few posts up, i don't believe the windows are a deep flaw a rig can come down on any boat

I think that on this boat, the issue with the windows has been way overstated as has been pointed out above... if the hulls can be closed off from the salon.., there doesn't have to be any issue at all any water that comes in there after they break just flows off the transom then, the...
