Shucks, that was dumb. Even mobile home dwellers know enough to use
tie-downs!

But those boats are built pretty strong, I'd give odds that whatevr they
fell on was more badly damaged than the boats were...

The TNZ boat has hull damage (container corner penetration) at one of
the strongest points (where the stays are). They are talking about
flying out another boat...

If you look at the stands not only did they not have tie downs, but it
seems the stands were narrower than the hulls.

This is what happens when too many seagulls land
on the port spreader.

Yeah, but one of the great things about carbon fiber is that it's very

You mean they no longer snap in two in a light chop and sink in
