Sailing ships were (and are) frequently put in the way of difficult conditions, whether by storm or combat, and the crew frequently called upon to cope with accidents, ranging from the parting of a single line to whole destruction of the rigging, and from running aground to fire.The sailboat is particularly vulnerable to capsizing or hitting a shoal or rock in the water when the steering fails.
