Got to admit I'm gobsmacked by that. Can't count the times I've been past 45 degrees.

Thanks BP. I was concerned at the lack of an authoritative source in the public domain for the boat.
This retired designers fb post completely puts my concerns to rest.
Go to fb and search Tad Roberts. He did alot of work with S&S.

There's a retired designer on fb who was involved in many superyacht projects. He's run the numbers and comes up with 88deg and some really big hatches underwater.

Looks like you have a bit of finishing to do once the stairs are finished.

Well every race in its entirety is on YouTube BP, maybe get one of those kids to give you a hand for 11 seconds!
I found it, but the edited highlights are frustrating, the commentary pathetic and so far the racing has been boring. I discover I'm simply not invested in who wins. Each to their own.

It can't have been pushed past 90 degrees by any amount of wind. If any boat goes to that it should not sink.

For it to sink in 2 minutes would need a flowrate of water entering the boat of about 4,000 l/s. There needs to be something fundamentally wrong for that to happen, even with the boat laid over flat.
This. Fascinating?

Thanks BP. Not sure what you mean "
Nearly all the storm footage you see there is only one anchor set.
Lazy, why do so many get in trouble these days.
-
Two rodes at 30deg. On one the storm anchor. On the other the stern anchor (stern anchor identifies the anchor even though it was set off the bow)then 30ft of chain, then the normal anchor.
Storm anchor a big manson plough, stern anchor a Danforth, normal anchor a regularly sized manson plough.
Hope that helps.

So, did you go swimming?
There was one occasion passing through Gatun lake at the high point of the Panama canal. There was a large sign on shore that said No Swimming. Of course once anchored I went for a swim along with several of my crew.
Next day when the pilot turned up I asked him why there was no Swimming. His one word answer: Alligators.

What exactly do you do with your spare time?

All else aside this phrase caught my attention
causing the 72m (236ft) aluminium mast to break in half and the ship to lose its balance and sink.
I would hate my boat to lose its balance, maybe they should check alcohol levels.
