What might have gone wrong on Gray's boat

|

Engine: Tenacious' 40-horsepower engine might not have been powerful enough to fight stiff winds and an outgoing tide.

| Hull: A lightweight fiberglass hull made the boat fast but vulnerable to damage from objects in the water.

| Emergency Beacon: Gray's EPIRB, which he kept wrapped in a canvas bag in a closet belowdecks, never deployed. 1
