Cat capsize off oregon coast
Sounds like great fun.

119 days in capsized trimaran Rose Noelle.
After four months adrift in the South Pacific in 1989, the survivors were in such relatively good health that at first their story
was disbelieved. Though upside down and half-submerged, their boat was well made. Its captain, John Glennie, a shrewd old salt, and
his three companions--including Nalepka, an Outward Bound guide and the sole American--had originally set out from New Zealand for
Tonga, and after capsizing they made living quarters in a compartment in the hull the size of a double bed with 18 inches of head-
room.
