One Overlooked Detail
He was the ultimate professional, analysing every detail of the boat and the course as well as the opposition. No stone was left unturned in the quest for perfection and it was that same attention to detail that made such a success...
And yet, all it takes is one overlooked important detail! I’ll say it again; navigation waste is hazardous waste.
Fabio Buzzi and his crew were attempting to break the offshore speed record from Monte Carlo, and they were nearing the finish line when their power boat hit an artificial reef near the Italian city of Venice. Buzzi (76) and two other people died.
The lesson here is an important one!
The one great advantage that sailors have over “power boater’s” is that we have a little more time to correct our mistakes.
