search called off

[BrianJ]

The search for four missing crewmembers of the yacht that lost its keel several days ago has been called off. All were members of my club and will be sadly missed. For the story that saved two others, refer……www.smh.com.au.

The yacht was returning to Melbourne from Far North Queensland, where it was competing in a series of races, working up to the Sydney /Hobart race; later this year.

It´s sad to hear...

...about such disaster!
But, after reading the article there is one thing which puzzles me. Was the yacht really built ot of Stainless Steel?
