Ellen's support team knew by the minute her location and the location
of every boat in her vicinity at all times.

Bull****. Not every vessel carries a locator. Big shipping, perhaps,
provided
their equipment isn't faulty or turned off but certainly not small private
yachts which could be run down and sunk by little dyke Ellen's flagrant
disregard for the Colregs and Rule 5 in particular.

They would be in contravention if no sail plan was filed.... ham radio
routing would inform all vessels in the area of her route and location,
satellite phones are on most commercial and private yachts, sailors with
crew failing to maintain watch which includes radio broadcasts as per court
rulings would also be in breach if a collision occurred. More than likely
that every vessel passing close to her route would have been informed.
