    It serves as a warning to others. Deck Boats - not for winter ocean sailing :rolleyes:

    Well I was wrong about someone else dragging the disruptive boat back home, but I am not so sure about why it is unbelievable for the boat to end up near Bermuda. We have a spot at Port Annapolis if the boat needs some comfort from family members :P

    The boat floats around randomly. Rimas floats around randomly. They could meet. Could happen.

    Your post looked like cut-and-paste from another site, so it is quite natural to wonder where it came from ;)

    It is poor form to not include a source for two reasons. 1. The original author should get credit. 2. It is nice to know if Dennis Connor or Dennis the wino behind the dumpster who has never seen a boat is the source.

    I have Atkins and Hoyle hatches that have taken some incredible abuse and still are totally intact and water-tight*. * well they are 42 years old and I have put some Creeping Crack Cure around a few screw heads. I think I'll need new glass sooner or later. The gaskets remain totally water tight.

    Maybe this explains how the owner and son were "in shock"

    A waterspout? Act of God? Is PJ laminating all day with no mask or did they confuse MEK with coffee in the company cafeteria :rolleyes:

    I think in the future they will mate and produce trimarans :D

    Back in the day the ones I worked on litterally would not sink absent breaking into pieces.

    Usually you would have to break it up and the parts with the engines would sink.

    I think it collided with a dismasted Alberg 35 and now is a trimaran.

    Arghhhhhhhhh... I wish I hadn't mentioned the Star delivery job. The point was the boat is well designed for what it normally does, but not well designed for crossing oceans or parts of oceans. Kind of like how RM looked to be an awsome wicked fast dayboat, but not a winter North Atlantic...

    Great boat. Great crew. Great plan. Great weather. Just one little tiny issue..........
