Sails don't work - adrift at sea - JonTom - 07-15-2017 It is wrong to laugh at the plight of others, and I'm glad they were rescued, but this article on 4 men rescued at sea had an amusing (to me) line: "Additionally, the vessel’s sails were not working and their GPS was not functioning properly." I'm certainly no mariner/sailor, but don't sails either function (with wind) or they're damaged? How does a sail "not work"?? chime in if u can OT (or others).

I was quite young and finally got it to shallow water and walked it back in on a rope :-) RE: Sails don't work - adrift at sea - Oldtimer2 - 07-17-2017 I'm not much of a sailor . Sails give me the willies . Not a funny situation but you do have to wonder . RE: Sails don't work - adrift at sea - shipmaster - 07-17-2017 I would attribute the wording to the ignorance of the writer. |
