It was a NZ yacht named Agape, I believe one of those Taiwanese built double enders a Tayana 37 or similar. Understand they had stern gland/engine mount problems and she filled up via the stern tube. Crew taken off by a nearby cat Heard the cat that lost its mast was a pure maintenance issue, the clevis pin came out of the forestay and mast fall down! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
