Re: Another Keel Lost; Another Capsize

Slightly off topic now. But we should actually have an opinion on what is a good versus a bad charitable donation - especially when the government subsidies them (technically not in this case since...

Re: Another Keel Lost; Another Capsize

Thanks for posting that article.

Warning: I'm going to "hate" on them, so don't read further if that bothers you.

I, for one, though don't buy their story that it was all a...

Re: Another Keel Lost; Another Capsize

- that's a big assumption.

I should have clarified that I meant non-race US boats.

Maybe some insurances will go the route of requiring keel inspections. That's fine, you can always choose...

Re: Another Keel Lost; Another Capsize

Mandatory keel inspections doesn't have the slightest chance of become law in the US - and that's a good thing.

Owners need to be responsible for their own boat/safety. Not to mention that the...

Re: Another Keel Lost; Another Capsize

Thanks. Agreed on speculation. Would be nice for them to give an update for their sponsors.

Can you give anymore details of what Nikki and Tanner are doing and what caused the delay?

Re: Another Keel Lost; Another Capsize

Are you sure? It would be strange if they started giving out refunds but still keep the campaign open on the website. I just checked and it appears people are still donating.

Re: Another Keel Lost; Another Capsize

Yes if you donated, you should demand gofundme to pay you back, they "guarantee" the donations.

Agreed on the fuel tank. Sadly there was likely quite a bit in there. It also doesn't take much to...

Another Keel Lost; Another Capsize

So can anyone confirm it's been removed? No need for us to bash them if they already took care of it.

Re: Another Keel Lost; Another Capsize

I agree Ann. They had the needed money weeks ago. The wreck should be gone by now. Unfortunately, I don't have much hope for them to take care of their obligations.

Regarding taxes, these are...

So back to the thread. Any activity on getting this boat out of the channel?

Re: Another Keel Lost; Another Capsize

Sorry I still don't see the point. If you know how to use google you're ok? If you know how to find the right book, you're ok?

I just don't see why one would even bring up the problems with google...

Yes. Books 1, Web 0.

You didn't say one should use a book instead of the google thing? Ok.

Re: Another Keel Lost; Another Capsize

What?

You can't learn about keel bolts from google, only from books? In Gutenberg's days would you have complained about reading from printed books versus handwritten scrolls?

Little FYI, ...

Re: Another Keel Lost; Another Capsize

Encouraging news: they have changed the GoFundMe again to say the first thing they'll do is salvage the boat.

Any update from the locals on if there has been any activity in that regard?

Actually this is incorrect. They likely have already withdrawn the money. They can take out the money as soon as its donated without affecting the campaign, thereafter they can get daily deposits...

Re: Another Keel Lost; Another Capsize

Is there any indication that GoFundMe is actually doing an investigation beyond the automated email they send after submitting a complaint?

Totally agree walking away won't turn out well for them.

Re: Another Keel Lost; Another Capsize

I like your optimism, but I doubt it. Shopping for quotes should take all of 1 day. After all there is going to be a limited number of possible salvage crews within the area. If that were the...

Re: Another Keel Lost; Another Capsize

I'll tell you what though. With their new found notoriety they can forget about cruising. Everyone will know who they are and that they walked away from this. Fame is a double edged sword. If no...
