Wonder if any of them had either a droge or a parachute anchor??

Ruth and Randal Johnson, 462 #5 were anchored in a safe location, Don McIntyre, 462 #6, and Ben Feldman, 382 #2 were both caught out at sea as they were transiting from Hong Kong to Subic Bay. Don with crew Dave Nagle, who were closest to the Philippines, put up all sails and averaged over 9 knots for 20 hours making it to a sheltered bay north of Subic with two hours to spare. Ben, his first sail on his new boat, got caught out and was severely trashed for about 30 hours. He was very close to the eye of the storm. No major problems and both boats are now safely at the Subic Bay Y.C."
