I mean, really...running aground in front of the Sydney Opera House?

I presume Sydney Harbour is charted extensively...

Yeah mate! Illustates the advantages of a fullish keel over a bulb on a fin.

Been a few fin keels fall off boats in Aussie and Southern Ocean waters in

Seriously though, the TV interviews of the skipper and crew were

Suspect all of them will be looking for a new job shortly.
