Ben,
I actually put Rum Runner over on her side a few years ago in strong  
winds. The story involved four experienced sailors and two large bottles of rum.  
The only recorded damage was the loss of three drinks and a pack of 
cigarettes.  Once righted we had about sixty gallons of water in the cabin which we 
managed  to pump out as we limped back to the marina. Water was pouring 
into the cabin on  the starboard side, but the stereo never skipped a beat. 
Somewhere in the  archives I'm sure you can find the complete story. We went 
out looking for  trouble and we found it. What a wonderful boat we own.
 
Rummy

Mary  Lou & Rob-thanks for your quick acknowledgments , and I have to say  a
great BIG thank you to Lee who had shivers running up my spine with  Exactly
the kind of story I was hoping to get. That was GREAT. You're a  terrific
writer and story teller. Thanks for sharing it. I'm surprised you  have been
willing to get back up on that "horse". I'm not sure I would be  able to.
Thanks again.

Anybody else?? I know you're  out there. Don't be afraid of being "shown up"
by Lee's magnificent work.  Let's hear more.
