Doing that should be on the level of criminal negligence.

I agree, however, that's what I have, seen and heard with these types of accidents. |

I just think someone left the helm to take a break belowdecks.

If I can sit on the helm driving for almost 6 hours with no autopilot in 20 foot seas, this dink has no excuse. |

Exactly. Put the frigging thing in neutral, take a leak, grab a soda, or whatever you need to do, then get back to the wheel.
Nothing against folks with piles of money.(I hope to be one in a few years...:^)) but doesn't that 60 footer just scream, "I'm owned by an ignorant douchebag"? |
