However, I believe this thing actually did happen on a multi... can't seem to find the reference... somewhere off Venesuela. If I do, I'll post it. The crew was in an inverted multi for weeks, no epirb apparently, until they finally washed up on the beach. The local authorities didn't believe them at first because they were in such good shape. I believe you are thinking of the Rose Noelle which capsized of NZ in 1989? An official enquiry was conducted and confirmed their amazing survival. 119 days in the inverted tri. I have John Glennie's book on it as well as one written by one of the crew. Good stories. I think the saddest part is that one of the crew who survived this and was only in his 20's died a couple of years later due to a brain tumor- talk about bad luck.
