Now, what makes me think that you have much more information than just a photo?

Perhaps the story behind this sad event doesn't suit your agenda?

Thing I got from that photo that I had never seen before is outboards being operated with the covers on

Mine were.
Too freaking noisy air intake, not exhaust noise.

It didn't capsize. So disappointing to the spineless.

And, it's also still floating. I'm guessing it remained so. I'm not personally interested in cats, but this feature of them usually staying afloat if one hull floods is really a great thing. That would make a much better survival platform than a raft.

Multi guys, take note! A leaner has spoken favorably.

Re: Should Seawind owners see this?
Enough of the thread drift!

These Seawind guys appear to be a "hardy" bunch.






Back to the original question.
Any truth in the Rumour they picked up one of the " reef marker buoys in front of the Exmouth Yacht Club thinking it was a mooring, instead of paying to go in the marina next door, and the Easterlies blew up in the evening?

All good though, no one hurt and fully insured.

OK I will play your game, what have these two boats got to do with the first one being towed?

You should know. You claimed to be one of them.

What kind of boat are you claiming to own this week?
