My comment was in reply to another thread about the stability of multihulls,
where
several people said monohulls will quickly fill with water and sink when
knocked
down or capsized. Just trying to make a point that this does not happen in
most
cases. I am actually trying to defend monohulls by pointing out that this
boat survived the knockdown, but unfortunately the man fell overboard.

Yes, it's another one of those monohulls going down to the bottom with
their heavy keels.

Er, ah, take off the catamaran glasses and read the article, again. The
boat SELF RIGHTED after they fell overboard....as the bilge pumps cleaned
out the mess above that heavy ol' keel.

Of course, he could have been upside down in a cat, gasping for air I
suppose.

He died of hypothermia, not monohullitis. If he'd not been thrown
overboard, he would have been below putting on dry clothes.
