Thomas Pt recorded winds of 14-15kts and prevailing out of the SW at the time of the accident. So the sea conditions were acceptible for Annapolis harbor and a Club 420. Wonder what kind of harness she was wearing?

My father's day gift from my eldest son this year, tethered to my PFD all the time. Spyderco SpyderHawk Salt, supposedly this one will not rust. Everyone should carry one in our sport. It could save someone's life or yours.

Watch out for that point. Safety knife should have a blunt tip. The owner of the Corsair 43 that I sail on ,knew a guy who flipped his kayak, couldn't get rolled back over so he cut himself out of the spray skirt with a pointed knife and cut a major artery and bled out right there.
Really sad to hear about anyone dying sailing especially a youth.
