An unfortunate sailing family had their boat sink. See the "My boat sank today" Discussion in 'Ask All Sailors' started by stiggy456, Oct 1, 2015.
My question to the Mac 26 owners and former owners is Would the Mac 26 sink like this or would the floatation keep it from sinking? My assumption is that it would be floating with the deck barely above or just below the surface.
The bonus question is, Would it make any real difference? It seems to me that everything on the inside is going to be just as wet. It may cost less to salvage as you won't have to get it to the surface, "just" pump it out.
And yes, I'm still considering reclaiming all of the space currently used by the floatation.
