The threesheetsnw.com web site has some good coverage of the failure to launch. Sailing Anarchy and Pressure-point.us also have good discussion if you can wade through the trash.
Here is a quote from one of the blogs listed at threesheetsnw.com: >>>>>>>>>> A poster on your blog copied & pasted from Sailing Anarchy exactly what happened to the launch I believe. At that ramp-angle the stern became buoyant and the boat took an immediate twist to port about 10/12 degrees and stopped (like a pencil between 2 points), pivoting on the front single point of the wheel set (dolly) What stopped her at that point was the port-side stabilized came in contact with the concrete ramp. After starting the main and one gen they chose to continue I’d agree with his last paragraph: ” However, the boat could (and probably does) have perfectly adequate stability in operation even though there was this accident during launch – which shouldn’t have happened, just isn’t indicative of the operational stability.” >>>> Martin Calypso 1971 C&C 43 Seattle [cid:D1BF9853-22F7-47FB-86F2-4115CE0BAF2F] From: CnC-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Gary Russell via CnC-List Sent: Thursday, May 22, 2014 6:09 AM To: Dennis C.; C&C List Subject: Re: Stus-List Luxury yacht sinks on launch Looks like Caddyshack to me.
