Dude, Mark, Take a deep breath big fella. What I was saying is scramble a f-ing chase boat and go get the cats that were left out there.(fixed it) Save some $$ for the owners. Every time cat sailors get rescued here in CA the bill is at least a couple of grand to get them back from Vessel Assist. Oftentimes it's not worth it because they're so trashed from being towed upside down at 15 knots for however far.

And since you opened up that can of whoopass, you can ask anyone that has been pulled from the water, or righted, or assisted in any other way how they felt about having a chase boat on course.

Your rant is politically motivated in some way and really doesn't dignify a thorough response. From me anyway...

You guys have at it. I'm enjoying the coverage and info of the GT300 on this and other threads.
