That's the short form of the Breakdown Spectacular, which begins at the stroke of closing. Beyond this, accounts vary. To some, it's pure scramble. They've come a long way, some of them. Bets are on all these jury-rigged sailboats that haven't been sea trialed, are missing major parts and can't get their engines started.
Boats just blaze out of here.
On one of those boats, a 33-foot Cornish Crabber, Wintershalter sits back and props his topsiders on the railing. It's after 5pm on the last day of the sailboat show. At 6pm, Brittania Boats has less than an hour to fold up their display, start their boats and roll out in sequence - all as a feisty mob watches and comments on their every move. People are up on Pusser's roof drinking, yelling and cheering as we leave. For sure, as the move-out has evolved into a complex precision drill, it's become a spectator sport with a fan base.
