My "read" is that's what happened. A slight chance is that the broken rudder punched a different hole in the hull, but it sounds like the water was coming in at the rudder shaft's entry. That they were swinging back and forth tells me they had no effective control over the rudder. (We got towed in sans our rudder last season, a scary ride in the 4' waves we had at the time.) I'm a bit surprised that they couldn't put something in that hole to slow the flow, but I can accept that it wasn't possible for some reason, possibly because they seemed to do everything else pretty right. -- Jere Lull Xan-à-Deux -- Tanzer 28 #4 out of Tolchester, MD Xan's pages: http://web.mac.com/jerelull/iWeb/Xan/ Our BVI trips & tips: http://homepage.mac.com/jerelull/BVI/ |
