Bolt issues or no bolt issues, whatever hit them was a huge catastrophic event. The fact that some of them couldn't regroup and try to free a raft is indicative. These were experienced cool headed chaps. Makes this all the more tragic.

V sad and true. In those seas and winds getting back to the inverted hull after becoming detached would have been an uphill battle just by itself.

My feelings exactly Salty.

To he who asked about the construction of that First, you'd likely need to know the year of construction to determine which method of construction she was.

My condolences to all those close to these four men.
