All those years of racing, including being in multiple collisions, taught me that it is surprisingly difficult to sink a boat. As long as you can maintain hull and deck integrity, you need a LOT of water inflow in a very short amount of time to eliminate buoyancy. We were never a good team, but I came away from it with far more confidence being on the water than I started :)

"Always step up into the lifeboat." This is advice, hard won, by mariners who abandoned their ship, were lost at sea in their lifeboat, and left behind them a ghost boat that eventually makes its way to shore.
