Drowned sailor's desperate final moments during Dauphin Island regatta described by boat captain | AL.com: "The boat, he said, was "knocked horizontal." Creekmore said he dropped himself into the water, on the side of the boat opposite the wind, to let down the sails. The boat righted itself, he said, and he climbed back in. That's when he saw Beall hanging on behind the boat as the wind thrust it forward. Creekmore said he grabbed the line, trying to draw Beall toward him, but instead almost got pulled in himself. Within seconds, he said, Beall was no longer there. "There was no way we could sail the boat back against 70-mile-per-hour winds," Creekmore said..." more sailing news below (@ web version link below for mobile)
