A 92 foot sailboat collided with a large coal transporter at about 4

a large Motoryacht in fog. The captain of that sailboat died.

tragic but the skipper did not die.

The three people on the sailboat this time were all thrown overboard,
too. One was uninjured, one was injured slightly and the third was
pulled from the water unconsious.

Once again, I'll recommend that PFD's and tethers are a REALLY good
idea anytime you are in poor visibility conditions, even if it seems
as if conditions are otherwise benign.

why? so you can be dragged down with the boat?
