Boat designed for “extreme conditions”
Should it be weatherproof? “Yes, absolutely, they are designed for that. To withstand extreme weather conditions. This particular weather event was violent, sudden and unforeseen. Otherwise the captain would never have put the boat to sea in that bay if extreme weather had been forecast. There was a light breeze forecast offshore (editor’s note: this is inaccurate, because there was a weather alert in that area). So this sudden, immediate and very violent event had catastrophic consequences».
