Some of you may have already seen/heard about this already. Many of the WYC Capri-25 fleet were caught in an unexpected storm that just exploded over the late on Sunday. Noboddy hurt, and not too much damage.

However, as was reported elsewhere, one boat did sink. It it now raised and drying out at the club.

The storm seemed to come from nowhere. 3 legs of a 5-leg W/L course in less than 5 knots. Then the wind picked up to 15-20 for the next 2 legs, then all hell broke loose on the way back to the club.

I have never sailed in such conditions!
