Mary,

I caught part of the show and I agree that they did seem to be lacking in general saftey procedures. And I definately flinched at that guys comment about the stability of Multi's! I thought that it was odd that the crew said that they were reefing the main when the storm hit and that the first gust shredded the main. Then they said that the boat started to go over after that. Go over under just the Jib? I was dissapointed that the explanation of what happened was so brief. But all in all, a pretty interesting show and as a former Lake Michigan sailor, I can attest to the fury of the first blast of some of those thunderstorms!

As to the question regarding the next showing, I am pasting an email that was up on the F-boat list-server.
