The more details emerge the harder this is to imagine. This skipper does not qualify to race as an amateur that's how much seat time he has....
Oh no.. this is one of the best skippers for any sailboat you could hire. 100’s of deliveries to the islands... Word is the impeller came apart,...
OK this gets worse. Word on the street (hope its not fake news) boat was just sold and this is the delivery captain taking her to her new owners.
Have no idea how they ended up in this position. Doubt things will get better from here. The owner should drop the cheeseburger and walk ashore...
NJ – DE – VA – Unmanned Maritime Vehicle Operations: Liquid Robotics (www.liquid-robotics.com) will conduct continuous autonomous, unmanned...

Misrepresentation (ok lying) always comes back to bite you in the ass
Good points. If you submit a claim your rates go up or you get dropped. I have had no claims and a clean driving record (since I matured in 2017)...
I often hear boat owners talk about shopping for the cheapest annual premium for boat insurance. This is a perfect example of you get what you pay...
As a broker deterioration and excessive heat sounds better than rot and fire
Actually I borrowed that off of a Trumpy survey. The boat had lots of soft wood and the surveyor filled the report with "deterioration". Another...
Please we stopped using the term "rot" in the mid 80's. We now say significant deterioration of the laminates causing failure. The video of that...
