DAWG...check the link in posts 7 & 8 and use the site menu to see the building of the boat

Looks to be a Searunner 50' designed by Marples and built out of Charleston by Sea Island Boat Builders out of cold molded wood/epoxy.

Glad everyone got home safe.

When this happens, I guess there's no chance of bringing her up off the bottom, right? Seems a real waste of a boat. And even if she's broken up, her hulls tell a story and her rigging is going to waste.

Does anyone ever go out with sonar and some grappling hooks and try to bring her up?

By now she's probably spread across 3 square miles of the bottom.

One good thing about multihulls there are usually some bits left floating to hang onto. (And sometimes a hatch on the bottom incase your upside down)

From this article, it doesn't really appear that she is breaking up or in any real danger of sinking. Wasn't dismasted either... just taking on water. I am wondering how badly she was taking on water, and whether abandoning her was really necessary.

Of course, the people who abandoned her were a professional delivery crew, and it wasn't their boat, and they had little reason not to abandon her... but still...

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Well if she comes ashore in one piece then your question will be answered.

How about getting paid as a reason?

So what is the reward if you go out and get her, and bring her back?
