So expect some of the NG spammers & dealer lackies will run a spirited
defense of this dealer. In this regard I'll warn you of Gould a blatant
deliverer of NG spam here.

This is about the third unprovoked attack this week,

What set you off, again, Karen Smith?


Do you have any remarks that might help this party, or is merely using his
misfortune as an opportunity to lash out at
other people a sufficient reason for your post?

The very good news is that there was no loss of life. To split a very tiny
hair, the boat capsized, rather than sank, but that's no less a disaster.

The Columbia Bar is one of the most treacherous places to take a small boat on
the west coast. Conditions there can get so severe, that the CG runs a
"surfman" school at the location. In surfman school, trainees are taught to
broach 40-foot patrol boats until they roll. All aboard are strapped in place,
and can be under water for several seconds before the self-righting design
turns un-turtle.

Lots of people get in trouble there with inadequate or unseaworthy vessels or
inexperienced seamanship. Sometimes people with adequate skill and proper boats
will simply encounter some terrible luck. If the boat in question were
manufactured with the defect noted in the complaint, then its a miracle it
didn't sink sometime during the first decade.
