report in \"lifeboat\" magazine.

The latest copy has a report of a yacht blown back from Biscay for 11 days last November and single-handed skipper rescued off the Irish coast in Force 11 and 10m waves, with broken ribs, but taken off to safety.
The yacht was called "Bowden", A Trintella 29 - seemed in very good condition when I tried to buy it last October. The report mentioned steering problems. The photos show it was still afloat and apparently capable
As I am building one from hull and deck mouldings, I would be interested in what these were.
How do I find out.

Re: report in "lifeboat" magazine.

I thought that the boat was lost after the skipper was taken off? but that doesn't say that the boat itself was not safe? If the boat had been drifting in F8+ for 11 days I would have expected it to have streering problems, as it must have been severely battered?
