Did anyone see the opening sequence of this season's Survivor?

The schooner was so heavily laden it was hobby horsing so
badly I would not have been suprised if someone was pitched
overboard.

She has an overall length of 85 feet, a beam of 16 feet, draft 8.5,
and displaces 60 tons. I'm guess it is 65' on deck. It tops out
at 9 knots according to one article--that seems quite slow for a
vessel its LWL.


Good looking boat... I wonder if they were carrying a load
of refrigerators, generators, & other heavy equipment for
the "survivors" and it was stowed poorly; causing the
hobby-horsing.

I would also think it would go faster than 9 knots, but in
the SF Bay pic they are shortened down quite a lot. Slow!
