I just heard from a man who lives aboard his boat on B dock at Cabrillo Marina that his two neighbors lost their boats at the West End on Sunday. Both boats were at Catalina Harbor for the weekend and left Sunday afternoon. One boat - a Fuji 32 I think he said - lost power and the woman single-handing her could not sail high enough to clear the West End. There was 30 knots of wind, gusting higher. The other boat - a Tayana 42 I think? - motored in with a tow line, but it tore the cleat off the Fuji 32, and broke the woman's arm in the process. Then the second boat got its prop tangled in kelp. Both went up on the rocks and everything was lost.
All hands were rescued, I don't know how. It was a passing conversation at the laundry room. Anybody heard anything else about this?
