That's now 2 of the 650's that have turned turtle. Not going to go well for the brand.

someone mentioned waiting 2 hours

i was told by my local marine chandlery that the cheaper epirb available can take up 2 hours to get a signal through

then you wait while they call all the contact numbers then call the coastguard then say to the local authorities and rescue go look for them

so i guess 2 hours is pretty good

was anyone on the water that day, did they hear coastguard calling for the boat over 27mhz and vhf ?

Brother and mate are about to pick up their new evo tomorrow and on the news on thurs his missus sees a boat upsidedown and exclaimed Ev-o-lu-tion??!! (reading upside-down), isn't that the boat you guys are buying???

Ahhh, he had to quickly reassure her.

I still can't see how a boat can turn over, freak wave or no freak wave if being driven normally. But, then again, shows you should respect the ocean.
