Re: What EXACTLY is a "blue water boat"?

Re: What EXACTLY is a "blue water boat"?

Not sure whether her age matters, I'm rather glad she's young. Sure though that also the reputation of the quoted source is pretty high, don't know how much is yours. Anyway, if you have no rebuttal...

Re: What EXACTLY is a "blue water boat"?

So if e.g. a keel breaks off due to a fragile construction that was not in the least designed for the forces that occur on the open ocean and the boat capsizes and sinks within 2 minutes, your crew...

Re: What EXACTLY is a "blue water boat"?

No, it's not.

It is what various search and rescue authorities and figures compiled by the ARC and other offshore rallies show, published by a very reputable magazine.

Re: What EXACTLY is a "blue water boat"?

You're absolutely right. This is just an invalid reverse conclusion, of course, yet argumentations like that have become more and more normal as they were even used by a certain administration ;)

Re: What EXACTLY is a "blue water boat"?

Here you go. Cannot find any applause icon but would put it :-))

I will hardly ever forget seeing the rudder of a 2-year-old "Elan 434 Impression" float next to the boat 8 nm off Corsica. In 25...

Re: What EXACTLY is a "blue water boat"?

Re: What EXACTLY is a "blue water boat"?

Re: What EXACTLY is a "blue water boat"?

Nobody said the numbers are high. They just say rudder failure is the #1 reason for rescue operations.

As for the keel point, I am sure you know the Cheeki Rafiki case and what the investigators...

Re: What EXACTLY is a "blue water boat"?

Ok. So the quality of the boat does not matter at all. May I ask also you if you have ever crossed an ocean an on what boats/models?

Re: What EXACTLY is a "blue water boat"?
