Crew of 3 (plus cat) ended up needing to be rescued. A 3 year old Hunter lost its rudder off N.C. coast. Rescuers tried towing northward to Norfolk (made 1 mile in an hour trying), lost tow line multiple times, finally headed for Outer Banks, N.C. The crew got to Oregon Inlet, but sailboat slipped anchor and is aground on Pea Island. All still alive, thank goodness, but you all be careful of the Graveyard of the Atlantic: it almost got one more! btw, salvager co. is enroute. Take care, (real good care), Joe
