    First reports were than as many as 10 crew were missing, but later updates were better news... everyone was safely rescued.

    yikes... saw the boat in west palm last november... impressive, I assumed it was a bigger version of the previous 75' (?) Rambler

    Hi,

    Great link, It was a surprise to see a guy I knew years ago was the helmsman on the boat.

    Rambler has been righted and towed to port: LINK

    All that's left now is to retrieve the mast and glue it all back together. :)

    Yep.
    And a coupla mixes of Araldite to glue the keel back on.

    That'll take some finding. lying flat on bottom.
    They'll need some good Sonar for that job.
