| Feadship | 78.20M |"VENUS" | 2012 |

I questioned the design of VENUS when I saw her, and still think her stern is butt ugly. But I give credit to Job's widow who has cruised VENUS all over the world since VENUS was launched around 12 or 13 years ago. Nice to see a big yacht that is used rather than be a marina queen.

I’m curious to what happened as well. Like i said not much damage to either yacht. Small at most.

...maybe they were all sleeping...

I’d still be concerned that no one on Venus was checking on this. Would have thought someone should have been on watch.

Yea looks like that is being reported as well. Wouldn’t they have some alarm in the bridge going off for high wind?

It seems that Venus was on a chain double the length expected in the depth of water she were in when the wind changed very suddenly, picking up from a breeze to 55 knots over the course of a few minutes.
But...as I said earlier..maybe...they were taking a nap on the bridge...it could happen..no family on board, only crew...calm sea, light breeze...wouldn't you?
The alarm...too noisy and loud...it's better to switch it off....I would prefer not to be woken up by an alarm that goes off while I'm asleep

I was not at all involved, but someone posted this on a private captain's forum.
