Last Friday I received a cell phone call that made my pulse race for a moment. The boat stored next to my boat had overturned. It's the nightmare for any boat owner. A boat that weighs several tons and overturns on the hard often suffers major damage and causes ditto.
When working with antifouling painting, the boat owner had loosened one of the supports, and at the same time realized that he needed to get something on board. He started to get on board and the redistribution of weight caused the boat to tip to the side.
Obviously a lot of bad luck, but within itself there was also a lot of good luck in play. First; the boat owner escaped unharmed. Second, my boat survived without dammage. There are literally only a few centimeters between the hulls of the boats after the fall. Third, the neighboring boat also appears undammaged. A mobile crane will come reposition the sailboat.
Our boating season could have come to an end before it even began.
Will your boat also need to be repositioned? It looks like it is listing.
No repositioning needed. The photo plays a trick with the eye. I did not hold the camera straight when shooting the photo. In reality Web Commander stand straight.
Oh Dear Lord..... so Glad Web Commander is ok. So many thoughts and comments but I'll stop there. Owner needs a little grace for a mistake he hopefully learned from =)
