Read a FB thread re a capsized cat and two people rescued by S/Y Good Decision. Think rescue vessel is a Conch boat. Anyone hear of this?

It appears to be a Hobbie Cat. There is currently not enough wind to capsize a cruising cat.

Most cruising cats lose the rig before they will capsize from wind. I did however see a cruising cat get a hull out of the water in the SFD channel during a thunderstorm. Apparently the big black cloud kicking out lightening did not prompt any thoughts on reefing or perhaps dropping all sail.

I could not possibly understand how that could happen (unless they hit rocks and submerged like the Horizons cat in 2021 near EIS).
