Preview: A Rock And a Hard Place: Lessons Learned in Going Aground in HOI AN—a guest post by Bob Stephens

What follows was written by our friend Bob Stephens of the yacht design firm Stephens Waring of Belfast, ME. It’s been posted on the firm’s web page, but the lessons learned are so important that we wanted to share it more widely. Thankfully, Bob (who had designed the subject yacht) agreed to our reposting it here on OffCenterHarbor.com.

    An admirably honest report. I came across Hoi Ann under repair in the shop shown. No one was eager to relay what had happened (understandably) but the acknowledgment here is a good read.

    Thank you. This is a great reminder not to get complacent, even in local waters.
