Are there any boats that are unsinkable?

[iangrant]

oh well

I never bought any of our Etaps solely on the unsinkable credential. All that foam though also gives you good thermal and sound insulation. But the main reason is the solid build quality and in the case of our current Etap and the previous one, a 28i, it has been their speed. There has been many a larger boat we have outsailed, why, I even once passed a 45ftr as we both left Chi harbour, he only just caught up with us and managed to get in front after I over compensated for tidal drift as we approached Cherbourg, he just got in a few hundred metres in front of us at the Eastern entrance, and that's after 60 odd miles!

it was only 'cause we had a dirty bottom and hardly any wind!

Oh, you are paying attention! LOL! There was plenty of wind! and not a bad turn of speed from us though, being 10 feet shorter.

You made it to Cowes and back then?

Good sail over Friday, nearly bumped by a newly painted white fastcat, (usual avoiding action when not 'suposed to like Cherbourg again) look like it's their turn to attack.

Stayed in Cowes listening to the crash reports and injurys on sat and enjoyed a downwind run back yesterday.
