It is human nature to speculate. We all do it.

Out of respect for those involved and their families, let's rise above human nature and not give voice to speculation.

FWC reports the make of the boat as a MTI 390. Earlier reports said 38 Nortech.

I’ve been working at the boatyard about 30 miles upriver and the last 5 days the wind has been weird. Generally east are gusty but we would have normal 10 mph winds and then a 30-40 mph gust would hit for a few seconds. It was like that yesterday about that time of day.

According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, a catamaran flipped near the Cape Coral Yacht Club early Saturday evening, resulting in the deaths of three people, and leaving one person missing, until search crews located the missing individual on Sunday.

The fourth person had been missing until Sunday afternoon, when Sea Tow crews, who were actively assisting in the search, discovered the body. Sea Tow personnel on scene confirmed the recovery.


So does this mean all 4 died?

I read that same article and I pray it's wrong and as far as I know it is wrong. I'm hearing Kirby has extensive injuries and took in a lot of saltwater but I think he's still with us.

72" tunnel, skinny sponsons and light boat is a recipe for disaster.
Top speed bragging rights at what expense.
Terrible tragedy, many families destroyed.
MTI need to stop production on this bad designed boat.
FACTS, needs to be said louder!!
