All of us being sailors understand the idea of pushing the envelope in one way or another. Each persons envelope is in a different spot for different reasons and we all have our own ideas on how to approach it. Chuck Yeager and Neil Armstrong may not be who they are today had they not found limits that needed breaking. Wheather these sailors were out of their mind or curious to where their limits were, they learned a lesson. Yes they learned it the hard way, but is there really any other way to learn? Stupid would be without life jackets, cell phone and flares. So they obviously had an idea what they were getting themselves into. I raise my glass to those sailors. They wanted to know something, planed for the worst and survived. Risk is what you make it. There is calculated risk (capsizing, breaking something, storms) and there is uncalculated risk (crap you thought would never happen). But to a coast guard pilot and crew they are all the same needing the same attention. So if you're worried about the CG personal, then you should sell your boat and take up knitting because you never know when you might need them to put there lives on the line for you. You all have valid points, but they are your points tailored to your ideas, morales and abilities. Whats important is that you each understand your own limits and abilities in every aspect of sailing. Sailing is fun yes, but it doesn't mean it's not risky even on the calmest days.

Back to the original question...has anyone seen or heard about their boat?
