was a combination of the boat's configuration (the fold out "wings") and the owners' personalities (they were all a little "nuts," especially about sailing).

Five of the people on the boat, including the two who died) lived in the Tri-cities area (Midland, Bay City, and Saginaw, MI) -- which is where I live. I didn't know any of them personally, but their loss has greatly affected the community. It's a sad day.
