Well Dave, here's the thing. These guys are profesionals, and they are going out to "Practice" in high wind, on a big, expensive, cat. I don't know what their objective was for the day, maybe it was; "Let's see what it takes to flip this thing!"

In that case, good job. Maybe they were trying to get some "practice" for their rescue team and shore team too.

These are not beach cats, you can't just right it and contiue on. These things are very expnsive and it takes a lot of time and money to repair them. Maybe they have a big budget and lots of time, I don't know.

It seems stupid to me to waste the time and money on reparis, instead of working up slowly to the max winds. Afterall, they were not racing, they were out to learn the boat, right? I'd say they learned what not to do...so maybe it was time and money well spent.

Like I said earlier, "We won't do that again!"
