The first time I read this thread Sven's story stuck.
I'm really sorry for your loss Erin. Had a hard time righting my own Nacra 5,2 last wednesday. Made me think of Sven again. Chilling how this thread popped up just now. I was lucky, warm water and a safe gravel beach with lots of (too much!) help. But it made me re-think my arrogance / complacency once again... Who says I'll be safe next time.
