   Short video from an online newspaper.
   A Princess 45 was knocked off the deck of a coastal freighter by a 33' tall wave in a storm of the Norwegian coast.

   Woow
   Not in bad shape for falling/washing off a freighter at first.
   
   What a powerful & destructive force that rock grinder is. Chews up a boat and spits out the splinters.

   My bad translating, it was actually washed of the deck of the freighter.
   Probably poor planning as far as strapping in down.
   
   The boat was sold in the town of Molde and was being delivered to Oslo.

   And now sold again, to an insurance company. Does sound like it wasn't strapped properly.
