It's remarkable that after humankind has spent hundreds, thousands, of years at sea, something that looks like design flaws still takes ships to the bottom.
I know it's impossible to remove all risks from ocean travel, but this seems like an issue that could have been anticipated and mitigated. Or maybe fate plays a bigger role than I imagine 🤷
Matt is right about the thumping sound of a swing keel while at anchor or on a run. Even on our Catalina 22 it is so annoying.
Clear description of a complicated matter. Thanks
Excellent analysis and commentary. Thanks so much for sharing.
Hi Matt, glad I found you here. Have read all your books, currently re-reading Castigo Cay.
That's great, rereading a novel is the greatest compliment you can give an author.
