Issure one 1) why would you want to be out there in a a sailboat that
flips over and stays turtle?

"...reported seeing a capsized sailboat..."


Issue 2) and why did nt the owner have an EPIRB packed in the life
raft? You know the kind, Nice small personal type.

Issue 3) Obviously lacked high water bilge alarm

Issue 4) SInce there was no crash I would bet the water got in through
a) stuffing box b) through hull valve/hose asymbly
c) possible transducer leak.

But #2-3 are a result of stupidity.
And I suspect #1 is stupidity also... who whould ever want an ocean
boat that did not right itself????
