Only because most of them are college age kids, think they know it all, and the funny part is they think 8 knots is fast!

I love all the smack talk about the Tin Can breaking up and "going to the bottom". I guess it never occured to them that unless all 3 hulls are holed, it will float even if it breaks apart. One of several nice features of multihulls!

It never occured because they sail lead mines, which usually do end up on the bottom, when things get ugly.

Still, I can't believe this Tin Can guy Vann didn't do any homework when it comes to welded pipes vs. wind and waves! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />
