Sailboat Crashes into Dock and destroys it!

A good reason to have an emergency brake aboard. An easily accessible anchor at the stern can help prevent things like this when things go south.

Il molo era mura a sinistra e doveva lasciare acqua.....

Not sure what you mean, I doubt kids ask their daddies to buy them sailboats, especially classic ones like in this video.

And if you need money to buy boats and you don't have money to buy boats your daddy has to have money to buy boats for you. (Sorry, you used the word "hence", and so I just had to give you a little bit of a hard time.)

BWI?

BWA?

Captain Ron, Take 1. Umm, guess we can break early for lunch, the props department is going to be busy on the set.

No, but money doesn;t mean you can't handle a boat at docking either. I park my sailboat with a cross beam current and wind, in reverse, without bow trusters (41 foot). Money has nothing to do with your abilities, but you need money to buy boats, I don't see a pattern in people having issues at the dock the richer they are, hence my comment.

Do you assert money IS a guarantee of ability? I work in a marina and see plenty of idiots who think their boats should obey them like people do - because they are rich. I'm glad not to be like that but you can call me jealous if it makes you feel better.

We don't know the cirscumstances that led to this. You do sound like a jealous person though.

My lovely boat and the gearbox failed

Money is no guarantee of ability.

I'm glad they ran into it. You sure wouldn't want to tie up to it.

Some people just ain't meant to be around the water !

Oh that's funny :-)

wow. nice docking. that made it possible to unload from both side.

My guess is the gearbox/linkage failed at the critical moment. ooops

the dock is at fault !!!
