The crew of the Brenta B-60 Minnic dodged a big bullet over the weekend after capsizing; an impact with a rock in the Swedish Archipelago knocked off the bulb of the lightweight racer/cruiser on one of the many rocks on the East Coast.

Christopher Carlbom was with the crew who rescued them.  “A 60-foot sailboat with five people on board, including 2 teenagers, ran aground on which the keel was broken off and overturned,” he wrote on Facebook. “We picked up a person from the water and rescued by another boat to get on board the other. That was the case very well, only minor injuries and a very traumatized guy.”
