![]() One lost, two rescued, USCG Rescue Swimmer injured. The boat, Freefall, was owned until recently by well known Long Island Sound racing sailor, Bill McFaul, whom I raced with and raced against any number of times. Apparently the new owner was taking the boat south this week in some pretty gnarly conditions. The boat was well built as you might expect for a Swan 44, and always well maintained and equipped when I sailed on it. https://www.piersystem.com/go/doc/651/236966/ Reading the USCG account of conditions, you have to wonder what the heck they were thinking of going out there. Tragic. At least they had a working EPIRB, properly registered. |
