Whoops!! Years of Boating Blunders!

My vote goes to Allure Shadow.

It did not look like the driver had his lanyard attached. If he had the boat would have stopped and prevented further injury to the occupants when he keeled over sideways onto the deck.

And no life jackets, but who wants to spoil an afternoon cruise at 60 mph on the lake by wearing a life jacket and getting monkey stripes!!!

My bad! Milow and Old Phart are are absolutely correct. Adding further to this incident, I recall hearing about this collision prior to the Palm Beach Boat Show, but I *thought* this was a couple years ago? It took place at Rybovich, as I heard. I also heard Tom Gonzales was at the wheel of Allure.

Maybe I'm juggling too much, but didn't Mystere have a black hull too?

I posted that here in March, 2012.

The 'aggressor' was "Allure Shadow".

so does anyone know what the heck happened. Alure shadow looks like it "drifted" into the other boat with no one at the helm, or was he tying his shoe laces?

FYI: The bold portion of a quote is the focus of my comment.

I d think a control failure is more likely than tying his shoe laces

Couple of months ago I had just left the dock on a 72 footer with pneumatic controls when I lost air pressure... just made it in the channel where I was able to go down, discon the actuator and zip tie the trannies. I can t imagine the feeling on a much bigger boat surrounded by expensive boats!

I like this version better...

I don't think a lanyard would have helped much as it looks like the boat hooked mid turn. Lanyard or not would have given the same result.

Yes; but it is missing the Bow pole that is seen on Allure Shadow.
The windows have a different shape, also.

Thanks OP! Haven't looked at Shadow Boats (or the Shadow babe) in a while.The shape behind that ship is the reason Tom G's financial situation is no longer ship-shape. How in the world he could be Allured a 2nd time remains a Mystere!

Seven boaters are tossed around after hitting a large wake.

I saw this on CNN.

Welcome to the party.

Most of the membership has already seen it on YF.

Apparently happened Sept 7 in the PNW.

I have heard of this happening in years past. We kind of pushed it to sailing scuttlebutt and long stories over plenty of spirits.

Wild to see. Wow.

Oh geez! He must've been flying when he hit that!
