This is what the shipbuilder said.
Teen Abby Sunderland not fit to handle winter seas, says Aussie who built her yacht
The man who built Wild Eyes said that Abby was not up to the trip.
"The way we built the boat means that it is unsinkable. We had stringent rules to test the positive buoyancy and we tested it again and again," said Queensland boat builder Jon Sayer.
"This boat is bigger and faster than Jessica Watson's boat. In Abby's case she wasn't physically or mentally strong enough to handle a 40-foot boat in those winter storm conditions."
This was discussed in detail on another FR thread.
The boat builder is just covering himself, look on that statement as lawyer repellent.
That boat is a good example of what cubic cash and the best sailing and engineering minds can create.
It is questionable if Paul Bunyan could have saved that mast from that wave. Fortunately, the hull performed as planned.
Minus that wave, we would be occupying our minds with Obama’s schemes and stupidities. Obama caused that wave to distract us! ! !
Yep. It was all Abby’s fault that his ‘bulletproof’ boat got damaged.
