How do you mess up motor sailing a 21 footer?.
Immediately fall overboard...without a life jacket.

This happens a lot with people who pick up new motorcycles, too.

I used to own a 22ft sail boat....way to small for any distance on the ocean I also don’t believe the term yacht is really applicable....I know a yacht is technically just a boat but the implication is much more. Most people consider a yacht to be 10 meters or more!!!

If your plan for insurance fraud includes being found washed up on shore dead it needs a little tweeking!!!

Insurance fraud?
%%%%
Or escaping from financial or putative criminal problems?
Where’s the body! Many detective stories have used this method of attempts to change one’s life, not death.
But - taking a little sailboat single-handing in strong winds and uncooperative waves was probably a fatal decision.

Does 900 Pounds seem kind of cheap for a 21 foot boat?

I don’t need a boat or an airplane. Sooner or later I’d forget something important or do something ill advised like this man did.
