Duncan F (bathclaret) Posted April 29, 2015 Report Posted April 29, 2015 The MAIB have today published their report into the loss of the Beneteau 40' yacht and 4 crew mid-Atlantic last year. Some interesting discussion, not least the email thread to/from the boat in the days before capsize, with the vessel taking on water. Very sad outcome obviously, even with a very experienced crew... Also can't get my head around the U.S. Coastguard action when the first PLB alarmed... they sent the boat an email !! https://www.gov.uk/maib-reports/keel-detatchment-and-capsize-of-sailing-yacht-cheeki-rafiki-with-loss-of-4-lives Quote
