Gee, do I have to spell everything out! My comment was directed to the concept
that boats are unsinkable, period. They said the Titanic could never sink. Get the analogy? I guess not. I personally would rather take my chances on a boat that most likely will go back to an upright position where I have a chance of salvaging enough rigging to continue sailing. We are slaves to our EPIRB's to get us out of trouble. Your first thought when in trouble at sea is how can I recover a bad situation, not make a grab for the EPIRB. Of course, in the case of an upsidedown multihull, they didn't have much of a choice. Sherwin D. Jeff wrote: sherwindu wrote: Yeah, that's what they said about the Titanic. You're using the Titanic as an example of why monohulls are safer than multis? That's a pretty convincing argument. |
