I've been looking at catamarans - but the ones I really would want are a tad out of financial reach!

Did you read about that billionaire recently whose luxury multi-million dollar yacht sank, just like that, with only a few survivors (himself excluded). Bizarre.

I heard a little bit about it. Apparently his 18 year old daughter also died. I saw footage of it under sail probably taken from a drone and when I saw the size of the people on the deck I realised how bloody huge that yacht was - looked beautiful - what happened? was it a fire or weather? or something nefarious perhaps?

Some kind of freak 'water funnel' apparently.

Imagine this in your little boat These ships and shipmasters are amazing.
