The table was laid for dinner...if she had stood on her side the dishes
would have been scattered or tossed around the cabin. Very strange...
Strange indeed. Aliens, Pirates, near miss with a ship and the crew
panicked.
With the sail blown out she took a hard hit. With a gimbled stove and
those rubber place mats things could look normal in the galley.
Hello??? Its a catamaran! They don't have "gimbaled stoves,"
certainly not any I've seen. I've never had any need of "rubber place
mats" and the tables don't even have fiddles. Clearly, if the table
was set, the boat didn't get "flipped," even partially.
Also, the jib didn't get blown out from a "hit," it happens from
flogging to death. They even showed the sail flogging before the CG
person went down. They also implied that it had been several days,
easily long enough for a jib to self destruct even in moderate wind.
