Accident Reports

[Not a spy]

This thread is for accident reports so that we can have one place for a reference. I'll get us started:

2016 Platino Final Report: https://www.maritimenz.govt.nz/conte...eport-2016.pdf

2013 Uncontrollable Urge

2022 S/V Escape

US Sailing maintains a list of safety reports/investigations they have been involved in here: https://www.ussailing.org/competitio...afety-reports/

(I was on several of these investigation teams)

I would guess there is a similar listing for MAIB reports (google would find it - they have excellent ones for example on Lion and Rafiki Cheeky incidents). . . .which are more 'official' (like USCG reports) than the US Sailing work. I have always thought highly of the MAIB work.

This would be the MAIB report listing: https://www.gov.uk/maib-reports?vess...al-craft-power

There are sort filters to narrow the criteria if you like. In the above I just ticked the 'recreational' criteria because most of their reports are on commercial incidents

Great thread. Should have a sticky to keep it easily findable.
