You really must watch "The Perfect Storm", the movie. It is a true

just a writer's fantasy. I could happen to YOU.

Of course, the yacht shown in that movie *didn't* sink, and was
recovered intact on the coast of, I believe the Carolinas, after the
crew was taken off.

It was not a yacht, it was a commercial fishing craft out of New England.
Have you got the right film?

The one that didn't sink was a yacht. The Coast Guard forcibly removed the
crew over the skipper's objections and at the behest of hysterical females
who sent an unauthorized Mayday.

So they weren't pitch polled & killed. So where's the problem.
