Cabo Flats Master

Guys,

Here is the new Cabo Flats Master. At least, it is supposedly a Cabo. Maybe someone knows the story here. This apparently happened last August.

Looks as though mud and weeds are a decent medium for propellors to provide thrust in. Too bad they coudn't overcome the friction of the grass against the hull.
Still, I think there is an easier way to transport your yacht overland.

Is this skipper out of his mind?

Hi there,

Does anyone know the reason this happened or what the outcome was?

He was forced by the authorities to write on a blackboard one thousand times:

'I will forever more adhere to the tonnage rule--Might is Right'.

This looks like a classic case of panic on the part of the sailboat skipper. It would appear that if he had turned to Starboard that he would have probably been OK.

Testiment to keeping your eyes open and having a cool head.

It has been said that during docking manuevres the control lost (it is not clear yet whether it was due to mechanical/electronic poblem or bad handling) and a serious scissure occured.

Oh, thats too bad. What a beautiful yacht.
I wonder if the hull is ruptured.
I would assume they'd get some slings around it and lift her up and off whatever she's hung up on.
