A 40-foot high-tech racing sailboat lost its keel and overturned in San
Diego Bay February 12.
Schockazulu was sailing near Ballast Point when it encountered wakes from a
passing harbor cruise vessel. The boat's owner told Sea Tow Capt. Bubba
Severance that he heard a big crack. Then the keel dropped off.

The boat immediately rolled onto its side and all four occupants were thrown
into the water. A Good Samaritan witnessed the accident, picked up the
passengers and made a VHF radio Channel 16 mayday call to the Coast Guard.
The passengers were transferred to a San Diego Harbor Patrol boat and taken
to shore. There were no injuries reported.
