Vorpal Blade 89 Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 You beat me to it, I saw the vicTim in the middle of the harbour with the big coastguard boat beside it. Looked like they were trying to un-upsidedown it. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Watched it happen! One of those slow motion, oh bugger here we go and can't do anything about it things! Just glad domestic dooties kept me off the safety boat today. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Did the vicTim look like this before it went over. Or was it another vicTim? Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 All sorts of fun going on on Saturday. We ended up picking up a couple of wet sailors after the finish. One got whacked on the head by the boom in an accidental gybe after the finish, and another crew went over after them in case they had been knocked out. We had our sails down and saw it happen so motored over and picked them up. All under control relatively quickly but could have gotten messy. The sailor had a nasty cut and a bit of shock but was swimming throughout. The owner rang and thanked me on Sunday morning. Link to post Share on other sites
