They were ordered to leave their yacht? Id tell 'em to get fucked, come get me if she sinks.

The women panicked.
-
the captain of the satori needed to off load the exhausted and scared crew, that is his responsibility. He should have also made sure the survival equipment was secured bulletproof. and the crew were wearing it. Should have also been damn thankful for the response that came to his/thier aid.
-
The sailing vessel was a Westsail 32; a really good ocean going boat. I would have hated to leave here also. By her riding the storm out and not sinking, the owner was correct in not wanting to leave her.

Joyof10true, battern down the hatches and let the bow find the waves. Rigging still intact here even after a knock down. Personally, I'd head up and ride it out. But like the other poster said, she is doing fine pounding her way forward on a fine reach!
-
I know of many seaworthy sailboats that have survived much worse conditions. There were no medical emergencies, the rigging was sound, and the boat was sailing under it's own power. The Coast Guard appears to have over-reacted. I would like to know what kind of radio communication led up to this.

A sea anchor would have been very useful in this situation.

Most blue water boats can take a tremendous pounding, suffer knock downs and still sail in safety. The crew can be the real problem if they don't know what they're doind

I would not have left her. You can have the woman, but you can't have my ship.

As others have pointed out, this has nothing to do with ego. Captain really wasn't having fun here either. Most yachts are extremely safe out in the open sea (away from rocks and sands), and provide good (albeit uncomfortable) shelter. They can handle much more than their crews. After 36 hrs of storm, the crew is exhausted, the yacht is not.
So you step UP into a life raft, never down (except in case of fire), and the same goes for rescue ops. While possible, staying on is safest.
