ex Elly 265 Posted September 23, 2024 Share Posted September 23, 2024 What a nightmare! 😪 First the self steering broke disabling the steering, then the boom preventer broke allowing the boom to swing. Then the traveller broke, allowing the mainsheet blocks and traveller car to thrash about, destroying the cockpit including the furling controls. This guy is basically reading out the Maritime NZ report, and has added some photos and video. This is what youtubers do these days to make money. Most of the images are of other boats/equipment, not the Platino, so could be misleading. Don't read the comments 🤮 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
