    • What a tragedy for so many.
      • A tragedy waiting to happen. Sad but it's what can be expected.
        • Experience...
  • Why would the refuse US Coast Guard assistance and instead call a salvagor?
    • Ditto. Strange story. But heck, I have a buddy who looses rudders as a hobby
      • Sad story but thank you Blye for the bit of humor
    • I am wondering if they called Sea Tow.
    • Loss of control?
      • Depends what USCG had in mind....
        • What is it with rudders falling off boats these days?
          • Redundancies
            • This thread has me thinking
              • Remeber, video or it didn't happen.
                • Will try it from the center hull first
                  • I see your boat just crabbing downwind, no matter how you rig it.
                    • How do you really do a realistic test?
            • Me too. I think I'll drill a 5/8" hole in my rudder before launch.
              • The hole will fall off...
    • There is that old joke that would seem applicable
