Default Sailing from Newport to Bermuda

Wonder how many have died from heart failure on a boat as opposed to a multi
sinking?

Hey Bubbles, when I did my first delivery of a multi over about 1200
miles, I carried a raft.

I'm sorry, Ozzy. Multis can be sunk or damaged in such a way that a

liferaft
should be aboard.
Can't see why a long distance cruiser wouldn't carry one for that very

rare
instance.

Because its very very rare indeed.
Look at the 60' race tris that suffer massive damage including losing
whole amas yet SAIL home!
You'd stand a far better chance of dying in a car crash on the way to
hospital after being mauled by a shark at the aquarium.
