Apparently a catamaran with 9 people capsized in Croatia this morning during the storm. The crew is fine. There are not too many information available in the news. Anyone have information if this is some small size catamaran like hobicat or more big/modern one (32ft+)?

Can someone tell me what being boarded by the authorities (USCG, legitimate members of comparative non-US agencies) looks like? How they hail you, what they expect of you, how the actually boarding of a (let's say 34 ft) sailboat takes place, etc? Do you have any say at all over matters like who of their crew actually can board (people who actually have authority to board as opposed to just anyone on their ship)? Numbers -- can as many people board as they want? Can I say "I want to observe / film you during your search"? Just trying to understand the commonly followed protocols vs clear abuse of power by the searchers. Thank you for any insight!

ps Thanks to everyone who has responded so far! To clarify: I have no interest in picking a fight with anyone (particularly with armed people), but the combination of me just now venturing offshore, wondering about how someone would climb down from a much higher freeboarded vessel to my small boat, and balaclavaed ICE agents on the news made me think: "Wait . . . none of this was covered in ASA 104."

Why is it that some boats are designed to have most of their power come from the main sail while others come from the jib? I’ve seen lot of people talk about how they like to only use the main to get around since their jib does not provide much drive anyway. However, on other boats like mine the main doesn’t really move you much at all until you get the jibs up, and you can run fine with just the jib if needed. Is one of these designs superior to the other?
