Thsi is about all I could find which is vague and it didn't look like a
40 footer, and the Ferry didn't look new.

No, sorry. If I knew the name of the boat, I could search for it, but
don't remember. The full story was on the web site of a newspaper
somewhere that detailed the investigation and subsequent criminal
charges brought against the guy. I guess you could search for something
like "sailboat insurance fraud, scam" or something like that. He was
just too obvious... with all that water why run right into a big ferry
boat? Duh!

I was going to ask if somebody knew the total story about trhaat
incident. Bad deal to pull a stunt like that, but also to endanger
life and limb of others on board?

the guy lost all the way asround. hope there were no casualties.

Kieth, do you happen to have a link for that story?

He was trying to sink the boat on purpose to collect the insurance. He
got busted, but not sure if he went to jail or not. Didn't collect,
that's for sure.
