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?



There were two boats featured in the book. One, the fishing vessel,
sunk. The other was a sailing yacht and the account in the book has been
highly disputed by it's captain. The crew of that vessel was lifted off,
the captain under protest. Later the boat was found intact washed up on
a beach with no damage. Here is the Captains URL, with his story:
