On 26 January 2009, a troublesome yacht called the Four Winds was moored on the Derwent River in Tasmania.

Bob Chappell, a physicist at the Royal Hobart hospital, was on board the 53ft ketch. The 65-year-old was trying to fix yet another issue with the yacht he had bought for $200,000 less than four months earlier.
