I'm not sure if this is the same crash, but that hull shape is really interesting, looks like they buried the bows and pitch-poled (which seems to be a trend, I've seen one from the shorter boat series that looked like the same type of capsize): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drgglIebuQY&feature=youtu.be
More video immediately post-capsize at http://www.youtube.com/watch?f...re=player_embedded&v=4uyL4FxT8zA

Can you name your boat "Maria" and help recover it?
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
