Yacht destroyed on the rocks | Elaine Bunting’s Blog | Yachting World

via www.yachtingworld.com Tragic tale of what can happen to any of us. This yacht was motoring into Horta in 47kts after a passage from Bermuda when a line blew off the deck and wrapped around the prop. It happened to me on a charter boat when a main halyard dropped into the water and wrapped around the prop. I was fortunate that the conditions were manageable. I was able to sail into a bay and anchor, then cut the line.
