Island Time 1,293 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Possibly. Removal of the access port and the water ingress leads me to think something structural gave way under that load ... -:( Quote Link to post Share on other sites

erice 732 Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 over an hour later and they're still pumping OUT water so presumably there's a spilt below the waterline, letting water IN only slightly slower than the pumps can get it out... foil-case when she did the belly-flop? that big blanket/recovery sling could be there to try and cover an aft? split? debatable that they can get her home in the light... very lucky the conditions lightened instead of getting worse... jib under bow covering bow split?
