[quote=erice]if 1 hull fills completely then it will sink and stop at the mast for awhile before that too fills and sinks
then the whole lot will hang underwater with just the 1 good hull floating at an angle
i'd say that would pretty much be the end of the boat and you too if the water was cold and it was dusk
even if someone was there to tow you it would have to be towed upside down and very carefully or the stays would break etc.
the once you got it to a beach, what then?
50?people or a truck going to drag it through the surf up the beach without ripping the beams from the beam seats?
even if the beach has been smooth white sand you could have easily ripped the bottom out at speed on a rock just below the surface. you wouldn't even see a swell around a rock deep enough to rip a daggerboard through the hull if you were going fast enough
think you were very lucky and guess you won't be speeding into unknown, deserted, poisonous snake jungle surrounded beaches in the future
i know i'll certainly keep your story in mind;o)
