«Kaupo» mistiskā pazušana

Maz ticams, ka katamarāna «Kaupo» komanda varētu būt izkāpusi uz kādas salas Indijas okeānā. Ar pasaules apceļotājiem, visdrīzāk, noticis pēkšņs nelaimes negadījums - tā par «Kaupo» bezvēsts pazušanu saka pieredzējuši jūras vilki. Kā tas iespējams, ka modernās kuģu novērošanas sistēmas katamarānu nav redzējušas, un kāpēc no tā nav atskanējis avārijas signāls?

if there was an accident it must have happened very suddenly, if there had been anytime, they would have deployed these manually, they would have activated one of these buoys by hand, it's most likely that there were sailing downwind, I mean you have to be careful, the waves are big and catamaran's are sensitive you can capsize forward over the bow...

no distress signal was received from the global travelers, though they did have two emergency transmitter devices onboard the catamaran. Both sailors and rescuers agree that the boys are treated with nonchalance in many cases and are stored somewhere on board instead of mounted on the hull as designated.

If case the vessel sinks, the transmitter is deployed to the surface automatically... if it's deployed inside the vessel, the transmitter will activate underwater and there will be no signal.

you can see it here, exactly these dots, the deployed buoys in the world... today also, on January 26, a buoy was deployed in the Indian Ocean, but that was a Panamá registered vessel.

the monitors in the Marine and Coast Guard observatories can see every vessel in the Baltic Sea, its coordinates and name. This global monitoring system does not see the Kaupo.

(RL) the system is required on vessels exceeding 300 tons brutto, in other words for commercial vessels... leisure and pleasure craft do not usually have the system, and hence, the yachts registered here in Latvia to not have this system installed

LATVIAN BOAT LOST AT SEA

It seems unlikely that the crew of the boat Kaupo had taken ashore on some island; it is more probable that they were the victims of a sudden mishap, according to experienced sailors...

how is it possible that modern shipping observational signals did not see the craft, here is our correspondent:
