Jake, Here's One For You. Oops!

Jake, of Team Seacats, brought to my attention that the previous post, "Wednesday Wipeout," was in fact not a wipeout since the boat pictured recovered and did not picthpole. That's what happens when you have a sloppy staff writer who would rather watch wahines at the beach than do thorough research. (note: there is only one staff writer at "The Horse's Mouth.....Oops.) So in my zeal to protect the public interest I present to you the photo above. I would say that it qualifies as a wipeout. I apologize and ask for your forgiveness for my mistake. Now pour me a double shot of tequila and let's get back to the movie.

How not to sail a catamaran.
Pitchpole = Not Good.

Next stop, Davey Jones' Locker.

The five crew of the J/24 Juvenile Deliquent were rescued just seconds before their upturned boat sank stern-first into the waters of Weymouth Bay on Sunday. The incident happened in the first race of the British National Championships in winds of 25-29 knots and big seas. More at sailkarma.

I Know I Had A Better Weekend Than These Guys.

Down she goes!

From Latitude 38:
A maiden voyage is typically a memorable event. But four Bay Area residents will certainly never forget their first sail aboard Elenaki, their fiberglass-hulled Folkboat which sank off Sausalito yesterday. Boat partners Jim McKee and Markos Kounalakis with his five- and six-year-old boys set out from Sausalito Yacht Harbor after christening Elenaki, when at about 12:30 p.m. they noticed the boat's freeboard diminishing.

"We did not have a lot of reaction time," Kounalakis said. "As I went down to grab the radio, the interior was already full of water — the boat sank within 30 seconds."

What a drag. The good thing is that they were rescued by a passerby.

Look What The Tide Brought In.

I thought I was sailing a beach cat!

The port's over there!
The Dutch cargo ship Artemis was approaching Les Sables
d'Olonne's port on Monday morning when a strong swell and
high winds drove it onto the beach. No one was hurt in the
grounding, and no pollution was caused. More here.
