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

The wind seem to be blowing above normal and as you can see "Venus" anchor ball is still displayed...and her anchor on the port side is below the waterline.

She s anchored with proper day shape… last time I checked boats don’t drag upwind…

...maybe they were all sleeping...

Well it doesn’t matter. They re anchored, they have their day shape on… the other vessel need to address their dragging problem. Screaming and yelling doesn’t help…

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
