Ya got to watch this one...........

Fat ass on a cockpit easy boy dies. Looks like excessive BMI and
failure to maintaine deck fasteners. My guess is crevis corrosion at
head of SS machine screw.... nah, they used ss wood screws and they
just pooped out.

Did you read the article that you quote?

The boat was a 65 ft. sail boat. Have you ever been on a 65 ft. sail
boat?

Where do you think that the Helmsman positions himself while steering
the boat?

Do you really think that he stands to the wheel clad in oilskins and
sou-wester?

Once again, you don't know what you are talking about.
Cheers,

Bruce
