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 !!
