Just interesting reading for anybody that may have not seen this article. I wonder if they are members of this forum, and if they are do you think they will raise their heads above the parapet to defend, justify or explain their actions:

Why is this in Liveaboard Link

Because right now there are numerous threads regarding Coronovirus in this particular forum, admittedly some more relevant than this.
I am sorry that you dont feel this post is appropriate to be in this forum. I am sure its not the first time things have been posted which may not ne entirely relevant, nor will it be the last.
Given that not mush else is happening as we are all in lockdown I will not worry too much, my advice is neither should you

if you read carefully you will see that the question was the " liveaboard link ",, not this " forum " , which most people will understand.

It looks like a Heavenly Twins, I sailed one back from La Rochelle to Penzance a few years ago for a friend.

If ever a boat was miss named it was this.

really ,, they are normally well regarded.

I found the boat to be slow and under powered even with spinnaker up, spars too small really . Boat did not like going to windward, a fault in many small cruising cats. Motion in cross seas was most uncomfortable .. Maybe harsh comments but I come from mono hulls.

I don't get it, what's life threatening in grounding a cat on sand, in fair weather?

Perhaps concern about pounding when the tide returns + uncertainty about weather.

If, and it’s a big if, they were grounded on Pole Sands (Exmouth) with. F6 E wind, they would have been in danger from the pounding swell. However, I’m told that they weren’t actually on Pole Sands, so not much danger at all. And I have no idea if the reported wind was actually a F6 easterly.
