Pretty short trip if you ask me....
A man’s got to know his limitations.
Last words: “hold muh pint”
Master Yachtsman certificate = FAIL
This is sad, very sad.
A life jacketed swimmer?
Hope he posted his ebay feedback to the seller before going sailing.
Step 1 - stay on the boat.
21’ sloop to sail around the world? That’s a small boat on a BIG ocean.
If was pretty much assured to run into trouble, it just happened earlier rather than later.
21 ft sloop? Around the world? Good freeking luck.
21 feet sloop to go around the world?
Whatever.
But not that small, I think.
Boat containing a CEO just sank.
So what sort of sick celebration are they holding
over at DU?
“Completed a one week sailing course”. God bless him.
How do you mess up motor sailing a 21 footer?
Oops. That doesn’t happen if you buy something dry that holds still, like a bar.
Ah, that's how.
Reminds me of obozo's plans for the U.S. Navy:
Armed with a single MA-2 .50 caliber Browning, this much feared naval vessel carries up to 30 rounds of aluminum piercing ammunition. It is the first in an entirely new naval architecture class -- technically, clitoral (not to be confused with littoral) -- being pushed on the Pentagon by the defense minded wussies in the Obama Administration as a cost-saving measure. If you look closely, you can see the heavy-duty seat restraint which prevents the pilot/gunner Kamakazi Kowalski from leaping from the vessel prior to engaging the enemy. The 12 V trolling motor which lacks a reverse function -- propels this sophisticated craft forward at a top speed of 4 knots. Reverse travel at approximately 35 knots -- is achieved by firing the Browning.
The no-bid contract to build 200 of these fearsome warships was to have been awarded to Obama-Soros-Emanuel Shipbuilding and Stormdoor Manufacturing (formerly General Dynamics) and will be administered by trusted Obama associate and former Chief-of-Staff Rahm Emanuel who commented that, at $12 million each, they are a bargain. They will be constructed exclusively at the companys facility in Kenya with major subcomponent production (rivets and miscellaneous fasteners) at the companys Harlem and Skokie plants. Delivery is expected to begin in 2024 (or as soon as the subcontractors funds are safely in the contractor's Swiss account).
A 21 foot sailboat is not a yacht.
