Or as I remember that great pioneer inventor and surf photographer George Greenough saying about his journey from the USA to Australia in his home built ferro yacht that his technique for storms was to pull all sail down, go below where it was safe, let the boat look after itself, put on some headphones and play the rolling stones real loud.
Man after my own heart.
Consider this, recently there have been quiet a few yachts that have made the Tasmanian Sea crossing without their owners.
In some cases the cabin doors were OPEN to the sea!
So the question is: Is this method of sailing considered to be "LAYING A HULL"
