Watery saga ends as trimaran drifts after capsizing
Boston based editor Philip S Weld 61 and Bill Stevens endured four days aboard the Gulf Streamer after a rogue wave capsized the 60 foot trimaran 350 miles east of Halifax. Rescued by the British freighter Federal Bermuda, they survived on improvised shelter, food from the submerged cabin, and a makeshift hammock. The yacht, uninsured for the crossing, remains adrift off New Jersey with Weld weighing options for the vessel and his Transatlantic Race plans.
