‘The next thing he heard a cracking noise and the boat went on its side. Before it capsized it snapped in half, Nathan described it as folding like a taco shell.’


Sounds like that may not be accurate.

Looks like Sail World, who published the above link, has pulled that article and replace with this statement.


My guess is that is EXACTLY what happened but they're trying to get things sorted/damage control before the actual story gets out. It'll be interesting to see what the concluded cause was.

Yep, and SA just added a blurb about it on their homepage.

Meanwhile, other international media outlets not mentioned here are continuing to report the original quote as I type this.

I imagine we will hear some official statements tomorrow after Tuesday's planned events.
