God this phrase needs to die fricking yesterday.

How about you stop being a fricking dipshit and just tell us what do with the sails and why during a storm. Most people on the planet don't know how to sail bro. Especially on a coll3ge sports forum based in Louisiana.

Try not responding like you’re an expert when you don’t know anything then.

Sails are dropped and secured when the boat is anchored. Equivalent would be running the outboard while you’re anchored.

Not sure if you've ever seen The Qualified Captain boating frick ups...at this point, if there is a mistake to be made, people are out there making them right now on a boat.

Those popped collars in a windstorm would be pretty dangerous. May have contributed to the tragedy.

If you weren't in such a hurry to be a dick, you would have realized that he didn't make the original comment you responded to.

The sails weren't up. The boat was anchored as was the nearby boat that rescued the survivors. The aluminum mast was broken by wind, maybe a tornado, and the resultant instability caused the boat to ??roll over and sink

See you could've just said that. But we had to go through this whole song and dance to get the correct information and make you look like a douchebag in the process.

I’ve not seen that but I have to imagine a yacht of that size and cost - the billionaire didn’t get the skipper from back page

Oh man, it is GOLD. Especially inside a harbor when people that have NO business renting boats are allowed to rent them. Do a search for Qualified Captain and thank me later.

Hey man - gfy

You acted like an expert when you said the sails sunk the boat when the article clearly said they were anchored. It’s freaking common sense the sails weren’t flying high in that scenario.

You’ve seen movies with boats and sails I’m sure. You spoke without thinking and looked like an idiot.
