Discover why classic sailboats from the 1960s and 70s are still conquering the world's oceans while modern yachts are failing at alarming rates. Since 1984, over 75 boats have completely lost their keels, resulting in 28 tragic deaths, yet those overbuilt vintage classics continue sailing strong decades later. The shocking statistics reveal that 60% of boats in the 2016 ARC transatlantic rally broke down, and a staggering 83% of Pacific crossers between 2012-2017 suffered major failures that could have been prevented.
This eye-opening investigation exposes the 10 critical engineering features that made old sailboats virtually indestructible – and why modern boat builders abandoned these proven designs for cheaper alternatives. From bulletproof integral keel construction that distributed stress across the entire hull structure to time-tested building techniques that prioritized safety over profit margins, you'll learn exactly what separates the ocean-crossing legends from today's floating failures. These aren't minor inconveniences we're discussing – these are life-threatening design flaws that every sailor needs to understand before heading offshore.
