The two men had to abandon the yacht and get into a life raft because winching them to safety over the deck was impossible in the gale force conditions, the Maritime and Coastguard Agency said.
This seemed surprisingly easy, until someone from the County noticed she had removed an old rotting wooden deck from the back of her store that had been a safety issue and an eyesore.
On the deck the crew of the R Tucker Thompson are helping other passengers into safety harnesses, so they too can fulfil the childhood fantasy of climbing the rigging.
Nextant installs a new interior, adds new fuel-efficient Williams FJ-44 engines, redesigned aerodynamically enhanced nacelles and transforms the flight deck with latest-generation Collins Pro-Line 21 avionics for improved safety, functionality and capability.
