Default Sailboat caught in surf

Unusually uninformed post from you, Larry. A well-found sailing cat is no
more prone to requiring a rescue (check insurance and towing rates), unless
you mean the fact that in extreme conditions people survive to be rescued
instead of sinking with their keelboat.

In fact, a cat with boards up will slide down a wave where a keelboat will
trip. Secondly, if as seems likely from available info, a line wrapped
around the prop prevented use of the engine, having a second engine would
come in handy.

Luckily for Malcolm's daughter, Daddy DIDN'T buy the catamaran!

The little sloop popped right back up...UPRIGHT...just like she should,
saving the little girl...and her Daddy...(c;

Cats at sea....no thanks. Ask the rescue boys.
