Deep Purple 512 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 That yacht has some bad luck. Pretty sure it's the one that had a young girl killed by a shark in Vanuatu several years ago. I've never seen it off its berth for years Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ex TL systems 63 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 would not want to have been on an exposed beach last night , we are behind Motuihe quite comfortable but last night was 50 kt gusts and rain. Will stay here until things settle down. Glad to have a big Bugel anchor and plenty of chain. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
erice 732 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 was it ever called “Windshadow”, (a 40 ft. catamaran)? The Webster family had sailed to Vanuatu on a catamaran, the Windshadow, they had built and shared with close friends and near-neighbours, the Morcom family. “We had a common love of sailing and had sailed on each other's boats previously and then built this boat together as two families,” Keith Morcom said 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 408 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 It sure is steadier pulled up on the beach, prime reason for buying a multihull till the late seventies "its not so tippy" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
