I've been off-shore in sailboats ranging from 22'-39', and I absolutely wouldn't go beyond the sight of land in a boat of that size. They knew the weather was going to get worse either that night or the next day, but still went way off-shore. They didn't even have an EPIRB from what I've read. Bad decision making probably resulting in a tragic outcome. I feel for their loved ones.
