Catamaran hits uncharted reef NW Australia
In case you have not seen these clips. Pretty scary stuff, I hope they manage to save the boat. A testament to the boat that it has remained floating albeit stern down with so much water onboard.

Here are a couple of Youtube videos of the catamaran "Sailing into Freedom" which hit an uncharted reef in the Kimberleys region in NW Australia. I really feel for the captain "Plukky" & his supportive female partner.
