If you watched the documentary on the Weather Channel Monday night about the capsize of the Caliente in the Chicago-Mackinac Race, what did you think of the documentary in general, and what did you think about mistakes that may have been made on that boat and ways to prevent them in the future?
Three things that registered with me immediately were:
Sailing at night but had to look for flashlights?
Sailing at night but did not have life jackets on and had to find them and put them on at the last minute?
Had a hard time finding the "Calamity kit" that had the E-pirb and other stuff for this kind of emergency?
And it did not help the reputation of multihulls when one crew member said he knew when he signed on for the race that multihulls are not as "stable" as monohulls.
