There are not too many factory built 50 foot tri's or cats I would want to take out in that weather! But if this guy thinks he's going to sail his tin can tri in that...well, it will be a short trip! Can the Coast Guard send him a bill for the rescue or will our tax dollars pick up the tab? I wonder what he could get for all that metal if he sold it to a scrap yard and bought a real boat... <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
