This investigative mini-documentary uncovers the real stories behind these tragedies: - A summer lesson that ended with a boat smashed against rocks in seconds - A quiet marina night that turned a dream boat into a submerged wreck - A sunny family sail crushed by a barge no one saw coming - A midnight race where a hidden flaw betrayed a championship contender - An offshore passage where slow flooding stole everything in minutes These weren’t acts of God. They were five ordinary, preventable mistakes — mistakes that thousands of sailors are still making today.
