COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- Texas A&M University officials want more information from the Coast Guard about its investigation into the fatal capsizing of the Cynthia Woods sailboat.

The racing boat, which was moored and maintained at A&M’s Galveston campus, capsized June 6 after its 4,500-pound keel broke off during a race to Veracruz, Mexico. One crew member was killed and five were stranded for 26 hours in the Gulf of Mexico.

The Coast Guard released a nine-page summary of its findings two weeks ago, saying the sailboat, despite previous groundings, had not undergone major repairs, examinations or marine surveys.

The A&M System is conducting its own investigation and has filed a request under the Freedom of Information Act asking for a more complete synopsis of the Coast Guard’s inquiry.

“We want the details,” said A&M chancellor Mike McKinney.  “Not just their interpretations. We want the measures, the thickness, the interviews, what they found.”

Lt. Tim Tilghman, a public affairs officer for the Coast Guard’s Marine Safety Unit in Galveston, said the information would be released but must come from headquarters in Washington, D.C.

The full report, according to the summary, included interviews with 21 people and a review of 2,735 pages of documents, 1,155 photos and 27 pieces of physical evidence.

“The investigation was very thorough,” Tilghman said.

After its keel broke off, the 38-foot Cynthia Woods rapidly

filled with water and capsized within a minute, sending three members of the six-man crew into the water immediately, according to the investigation summary.

Roger Stone, a Texas A&M at Galveston employee, died trapped in the cabin after pushing two students to safety, according to the report.

According to the Coast Guard investigation, the accident was the result of repeated groundings of the vessel, including one in March 2007 when the boat struck a concrete block, partially separating its keel and causing cracks in the floor.

The repairs, done by students, included removing and reattaching the keel, reinforcing fiberglass and fixing cracked floors.

Stone’s wife, Linda, filed a wrongful death suit in July against boat maker Cape Fear Yacht Works and Bruce Marek, who designed the vessel. Also named as a defendant was Payco Marine, a Galveston company that had done repair work on the boat. The A&M System was not named.

Coast Guard investigators did not fault Payco Marine.

Linda Stone’s lawyer, Randall Sorrels, said he was not satisfied

with the thoroughness or quality of the Coast Guard’s investigation. He called the inquiry, which the Coast Guard conducted with Ancon Marine Consultants for its technical expertise, “not really a Coast Guard report.”
