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. Joe |

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. |
