Hi. I just looked at the news and pictures. Here's what I have found:
- there were solar panels and a wind generator on board.
- they state to have an ssb and an amateur radio on board but lost comms by loosing their antenna...
- without comms they had no info about the taifun coming.

Several questions arise
- as mentioned earlier, why would anyone leaving the vhf range of coast radio station not have an epirb on  board? These things aren't too expensive. As a result. I would carry 2 of them.
- how do you loose your antenna in a taifun, which you do not know is coming because you lost your antenna... Some time issues here

On the other hand, I wouldn't tell everything either if I still want to get some money from my insurance...
