He didn't hit bottom. It's 20+ feet there. It was the roll.

Turns out someone I know knows this guy, and I'm trying to find out.
Obviously, he made had a big lapse in judgement. I just can't imagine why.
It's pretty obvious when there are breaking waves.

That was ugly. I wonder if the mast came off because of the rollover, or
if it hit the bottom. WTF was the guy doing sailing there?

That boat already needed work, including new bottom paint. There was no
reason to take her out. The wages of sin .....


The wages of stupidity, more like.

And the boat may not have needed bottom work. A lot of boats that get
prepped for racing have very patchy looking bottoms from being sanded
fair... the anti-foul is this slick short-term stuff that's clear.
