Stupid, inept racing sailors!!!!

[Sir Gregory Hall, Esq·]

San Francisco racing sailors give sailors in general a bad name.

Negligence, stupidity, irresponsibility, ignorance and death.

Wrong again. What gives sailors a bad name are the "trailer trash"
living in tiny yellow anchor buoys.

I am sure that most of us have been out in worse in smaller craft. The
issue here is a brand new boat suffered steering failure in conditions
that reportedly were not that extreme - 8' waves and 25-30 Kt winds
shouldn't have been a problem for any 32' boat marketed for coastal use.

Its pointless to speculate or assign blame until the cause of the
steering failure can be determined. However I would be looking at the
organising clubs equipment requirements and at the manufacturer as much
as at the skipper and crew's experience and seamanship.

Only off by about 300 miles.

Newport Beach YC sponsored the race, sailors were from
Oarnge County and San Diego area.
