If the owner would have been equipped with a reasonable sufferable daughter? Maybe things would have ended differently? Could we have been reading this wrong all along? Maybe the second mate had been ordered to take one for the team? There goes the mast...

Who knows... maybe a delivery crew with a little gumption stumbled upon the hulk in a calm and did some hunter gatherer fishing of their own.

She/it is actually at the dock in Bermuda.

It would only be an issue if a builder marketed the crafts as open water family passage boats, the same would be true with wild MacGregor claims involving innocents or any plans to use motorcycles in place of school buses.

Good Luck with that. You have a NY US Documented Vessel, owned by an LLC out of Delaware, operated by a licensed captain. The only place this would go is admiralty court where no fools prevail. The Captain has already declared on more than one occasion that a massive weather even hit them. No...

The smaller boat had the responsibility to stay clear and manage its own safety in the long standing practice of transferring passengers at sea. The rules of the road here were written long before the "disruptive technology" light bulb was even conceived...

When small boats come along side large boats in open water they rub. That is the standard of care for the safest transfer of passengers. Only to the naive or inexperienced would call the determined and communicated action of both boats a collision. Since the earliest days of the admiralty...

Watch Clean's pimping video on the owners. One of the cutie wives talks with pride on her J105 accomplishments. If you pull some of the old marketing materials you could reach the conclusion that Gunboat is really nothing more than a MacGregor on steroids... fast, light, go anywhere with the...

Done!

We have already been able to do that in greater comfort for a long time now... Some of these boats are looking more and more like a SeaRay, Grand Banks or other boat show special with a stick coming out of the top. With a price tag north of $2M at some point many families would be better...

Captains who must drive 50 weeks out of the year. Like to drive or work from inside. It looks a lot like the inside helm station of many boats. Just like the tug and push boats for many decades. Same with almost all commercial fishing vessels. You turn all the lights out at night. That...

So I take it one of the those winches would be for halyards.. then jibs and large headsails... How do you trim the main... just the push of electric buttons? With no outside cockpit on the 55 is everything really clustered around that single station?

I like the way that rope clutch is angled straight towards the starboard engine control, inviting the possibility of a rope tail snagging it... Sweet... And the wheel, all those displays.... Starting to see more and more why you need to hire a special gas jockey to drive Daddy's 55 ft. toy...

Well it looks like someone slipped the keyboard back into Clean's cage for the morning lecture and hurling on female genatalia.... Do we have any pictures of the former princesses of Rainmaker?

So at what wind and sea state would a fender not just lay on a trampoline?

The second shorter fatter tubular black thingy...the bit just laying there that is not in any brochure... While we are at it at the risk of being labeled a cunt.. It looks a little like thrust from the port engine too?

Most definitely should be paid something.... What is that tubular black thingy laying on the front porch in 40 knot true and how high were the waves again?

Ok so here is a real question for some to ponder while we drum our fingers on one hand while driving up the clicks for Scot and Alan on the other....waiting for the next segment of our current fav sailing reality show. It may be time for SA to drop the old school ploys of CBS and the other...

Where did the passion and objectivity of Sailing Anarchy and Scot Tempesta sailed off to... The GB Tribe has been at it for what 15 years? The "tribe" makes all kinds of wild claims for their million dollar plus family, wife and kids cruisers. The latest and greatest implodes distributing...

What is left out in the Gunboat Tribe infomercial so far is the reference by several here that delivery SOP on Gunboats is to take the sails down during unsettled weather. What is also unusual is virtually all these +/- 60 footers run with specialized crew? Yes, Gunboat makes interesting...
