S.V. Cynthia Woods
The S.V. ''Cynthia Woods'' was a sailing vessel owned by Texas A&M University at Galveston (TAMUG) and used by The TAMUG Sailing Team. It was manufactured in 2005 and donated to TAMUG by billionaire philanthropist and Texas A&M University graduate George P. Mitchell. The ''Cynthia Woods'' was named for his wife Cynthia Woods Mitchell.
==2008 accident==
On June 6, 2008, the ''Cynthia Woods'' set sail in the Regatta de Amigos with a 6-person crew consisting of the captain (a university employee), four sailing team members (TAMUG students), and one safety officer who was a volunteer. The race started in Galveston, Texas at 2:00p.m. local time. The race finish was in Veracruz, Mexico.〔
The boat is believed to have lost its keel in rough seas during the night. The boat was equipped with two transponders: a main one attached to the boat and a potable one provided by race officials for monitoring. The main transponder stopped working around midnight on June 6 and the portable stopped working around 9:00a.m. the next morning.〔 The also crew missed their scheduled 8:00a.m. check-in call on June 7.
Safety officer Roger Stone woke up the crew down below and got them out of the boat before it sank, but he did not make it. A capsized sailboat matching the description of the missing 38-foot boat was spotted by a Coast Guard plane at 5:15p.m.〔 and those who did escape stayed afloat using four life vests in four-to-six-foot seas for 26 hours before being found by a coast guard plane and subsequently rescued. The survivors were lifted to safety by helicopter at around 1:00a.m. on June 8 and flown to to a hospital in Galveston for treatment.〔
