austinsailor Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 My 40' sailboat was right at ground zero when Harvey hit. What a mess. Mine stayed afloat, but was stuck on top of 2 more big sailboats. I managed to get her off and free at high tide, but she was dismasted (they are in the waster somewhere) and had several big places there the hull was broken. Oh, well. It was just a boat, not my body! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merle Coggins Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 Looks like she took quite a beating. It could have been much worse. Many weren't as lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austinsailor Posted September 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 I've been asked by several people if the devastation was as bad as portrayed in the news. it's much worse. There is no way they can show how bad it was. Block after block, just torn to hell. 1000 boats sunk or beat to hell like mine. And that is from insurance reports. Many, like mine, had no insurance.

Todd B Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 no insurance or the insurance won't cover hurricanes?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austinsailor Posted September 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 No insurance, except liability. Cost, even if you can get it, is outrageous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
