I'm still trying to figure out this deal with the sailboat.

I'm sure many of you have seen this short clip before, but....

Just another idiot blowboater (and yes, there are plenty of idiot
powerboaters out there) who thinks sailboats ALWAYS have the right of way.

He sure showed that other boat a lesson or two.........eh? ;-)

I always imagined that being a GREENPEACE sailboat trying to block a
japanese whaler.

then make up apropaganda story and blame the whole incident on the
whaler!

Sounds like you've never been committed to an idea. What a pathetic
existence.

And it sounds like you are truely trying to make something out of
nothing...
"What a pathetic existence."

I just hate it when people jump to conclusions without any idea what
was going on. That is truly ignorant. Do you not think there could have
been a medical emergency? Perhaps the pilot slipped and fell? Perhaps
the steering went out? But, no, you instantly blame it on someone's
ignorance who you've never met, no nothing about the events leading up
to his demise, etc.

He was trying to sink the boat on purpose to collect the insurance. He
got busted, but not sure if he went to jail or not. Didn't collect,
that's for sure.

I was going to ask if somebody knew the total story about trhaat
incident. Bad deal to pull a stunt like that, but also to endanger
life and limb of others on board?

the guy lost all the way asround. hope there were no casualties.

Kieth, do you happen to have a link for that story?

No, sorry. If I knew the name of the boat, I could search for it, but
don't remember. The full story was on the web site of a newspaper
somewhere that detailed the investigation and subsequent criminal
charges brought against the guy. I guess you could search for something
like "sailboat insurance fraud, scam" or something like that. He was
just too obvious... with all that water why run right into a big ferry
boat? Duh!

Thsi is about all I could find which is vague and it didn't look like a
40 footer, and the Ferry didn't look new.
