[QUOTE="Grey Panner, post: 664556, member: 15464"] A speedboat, mono hull, operator watched the professional fishermen, in their catamarans, slicing through the waves on the Mallacoota bar and obviously thought that if they could cross the bar at speed then so could he. Bad decision. His mono hull boat became airborne and flipped. The stern of the boat, with heavy motor attached, sank, leaving only the bow out of the water, held up by its airtight compartment. The operator swam ashore and the boat drifted off towards Bastion Point. A professional fisherman took his catamaran out and towed the speedboat in to the beach from where it was recovered safely. Presumably the operator learned that not all boats exhibit the same characteristics and not all operators share the same level of competence. [/QUOTE]
