khayyam 68 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 yikes. i guess that explains why the marinas always have such high $$ liability insurance requirements! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fish 0 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Riveria Vs Azimut - like the start of a really good joke... or just a good start Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Elliot749 28 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 It’s a good start. A few thousand more stink boats to go. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Priscilla II 392 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 karma,watched that twit rocket out of the marina and royally upset my princess. Westhaven management may be welcome for the stink pot sales berth custom but the boat handling skills match the mentalilty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 398 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Dont be harsh guys, if your stomach fell against the controls it could happen to you too... then your medallion gets caught as you try to move away. Actually the controls appeared to be working fine as they rushed out of the viaduct before more pics were taken. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fish 0 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Harsh, bad luck can strike anyone.. I was always taught that you make your own luck when yacht racing. I'm sure that applies to other on water activities. Which brand of stink pot has the 'auto-dock' feature? Isn't Volvo putting one out as part of the IPS drive system? Rivereia's run IPS dont they?

chariot 242 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Think we have all had moments we'd rather forget, just not quite that bad. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fogg 427 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Think we have all had moments we'd rather forget, just not quite that bad. Agreed. I can think of a few. Fortunately for me mostly in the dark with no witnesses rather than in front of 100s of spectators with smartphones! Obviously there's an investigation underway so no point speculating on the cause but I can tell you the guys involved (on the Riv) were very shaken up / gutted / shocked by what happened.

Bad Kitty 252 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Lot's of sanctimonious pri#*s on here showing how gracious they are, having never made a mistake or had a mechanical failure in their life before. Makes me feel like I'm part of a very special community here. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,230 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Agreed BK. Bad luck for it to happen in front of everyone... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AJ Oliver 154 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Background noise - lots of chuckles . . Not much sympathy there either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crazyhorse 47 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 True, we don't actually know what the cause was, jammed morse? Incompetence? The outcome? Higher insurance rates? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,230 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 No sympathy by many, partially because the general public sees the boating population, especially yachts and launches, as “rich pricks” We don’t even know if the owner was aboard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
