I'm wondering what they would have done if the boat had not had bolt cutters. Approach from windward and send out a line? For coastal cruising I'd guess its unlikely they would have proper cutters, so they must be prepared. All of the dismastings I've witnessed have been racing boats or small cruisers - none have had proper gear. I don't know. The weather wasn't that bad really... 25kts, 4 ft chop. They didn't really do much except yell on their bullhorn. Now we have bolt cutters on all our boats! :-) -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |
