CBinRI is on a distinguished road
It was an almost new 44 foot Swan that was recently purchased. These boats are tanks. Must have been just horrible conditions. It was being delivered by an extremely experienced crew, including the gentleman that perished. It just goes to show that it can happen to any boat and crew in the wrong kinds of conditions. The Coast Guard press release said 40+ knots of wind and 40-50 foot seas.

My most sincere gratitude to the USCG and most sincere condolences to the gentleman's family.
