Re: Another Keel Lost; Another Capsize

The great thing about the national debt is that IF you grasp the issue, you should be able to make good profits from it. Because you can't change the problem.

The problem is that we let the...

Re: Another Keel Lost; Another Capsize

Putting it in perspective...$90 in 1958? Well, in 1974 $100 US would still buy you one month in a one bedroom furnished apartment in a second or third tier city in much of the US. Today, that same...

Re: Another Keel Lost; Another Capsize

"And since salvage has now proven to cost $5K,"
Did I not get the memo? It hasn't been proven to cost anything, until the job is actually done and the bill is sent out. That's how and why marine...

Re: Another Keel Lost; Another Capsize

"and then lien the new boat"
No. A private party (contractor, warehouse, repairman, etc.) can only file a lien on something in accord with state and federal lien statutes or admiralty law. So, a...

Re: Another Keel Lost; Another Capsize

Its deja vu all over again, Yogi.

YOU PAY THE SALVAGE COMPANY because YOU are responsible for the wreck, they have simply filled the mandate to remove it. You expect them to work for free, just...

Re: Another Keel Lost; Another Capsize

The web has its place, but an authored, edited, curated book about a topic (like, the structure of boat hulls) is less likely to have critical omissions. Like mentioning keel bolts. Or why stainless...

Re: Another Keel Lost; Another Capsize

Who the hell leaves on an extended trip with only $90?
Someone who has only $90 and plans to bus tables or find other day work to pay along the way. Plenty of folks hitch hiked across Europe that...

Re: Another Keel Lost; Another Capsize

Aussie-
If they had made a mess, THEN promptly turned to clean it up, and only AFTER that got around to saying "Uh, we're new at this, we messed up, can anyone help us with a second chance?" they'd...

Marvin-
Wreck may be a bit harsh. But perhaps you have noticed? That's what we're dealing with now. I'm sure their engine is reliable...oh wait, didn't they bolt on an underpowered outboard,...

Re: Another Keel Lost; Another Capsize

martin-
I'm not missing out. I'll go into shallow harbors and I'll go rock hopping if there's good reason for it. But for plain old fashioned pleasure sailing? Nah. We've got plenty of deep water...

Re: Another Keel Lost; Another Capsize

"Who hasn't taken the ground a time or two?"
Knock wood, not YET. I've been spoiled by generally excessive depths around LI and NYC and aside from looking at the depth sounder and charts really...

Re: Another Keel Lost; Another Capsize

Treble-
The LNTM will often say something like "Reported #42 off position..." but I don't know if there are any specific criteria for those comments. It could be that ten people made the same...

Re: Another Keel Lost; Another Capsize

USAA owners tend to forget that USAA is not open to tte general public. They only sell to current and former US military members (5-10% of the general population) and their immediate families.

Re: Another Keel Lost; Another Capsize

"They can be sued but there is nothing to get."
Not quite. Donations to GoFundMe and other sites can probably be attached, so that's all up for seizure. And a lien for 10% of all their earnings,...

Re: Another Keel Lost; Another Capsize

Jim-
I didn't read it as "sned a salvage team out" I read what I think was written, i.e. "let's go out and look at the wreck and see what happened". Which is tourists, sport divers, other kinds of...

Re: Another Keel Lost; Another Capsize

Treble, they've already done a YoRube! video interview. The keel came off, the hull was not holed. So they said. There's no question about that. And also, since the unsecured wreck in still in the...

Re: Another Keel Lost; Another Capsize

Really, once you get INSIDE St. John's Pass? Take one look at the charts, and tell me ANYONE would want to take even a shoal draft sailboat in there, at night, in the fog. The water is thin enough...

Re: Another Keel Lost; Another Capsize

Dunno, Don. Each Seatow franchise is run separately by a different scoundrel. Ergh, no, I meant to say "highly trained respected local marine businessperson." Even if they are reputable, are they...

Re: Another Keel Lost; Another Capsize

Heck, if they'd just run aground on a sandbar with no damage, the next boat flying out blind in the fog would have smashed them to bits anyway. Or they could have sunk in the channel and their mast...

Re: Another Keel Lost; Another Capsize

In the few times I've been there I've never seen fog, and the "pass" nowadays means "go under the bridge". The only rocks around would be the groin extending out from one(?) side of that entrance. I...
