This is a very novel approach to analysing the evidence - namely speculating on what the sailing instructors 'would have' said. I had understood that speculation was generally frowned upon in this forum.
Far better, surely, to stick to the actual evidence, which comes primarily from a report by Inspector Pinho, who actually did a reconstruction of the alleged events of the morning of Thursday 3 May, taking the two sailing instructors, Alice Standley and Chris Unworth, with him.
The two instructors were specifically asked if anyone else was with them on the sailing trips and they confirmed that it was just the two of them and the children from the creche. They made no mention of Catriona Baker, the Lobsters crèche nanny, being there, allegedly accompanying the children to the beach.
Moreover, they referred to two boats each taking three children; that makes six children in all going sailing on Thursday morning.
But seven were signed into the crèche that day - including Madeleine.
The statements weren't released so you too are merely speculating about them not knowing Madeleine. Your theory has zero credibility. This is a simple game of hide and seek. Smithman hid it and SY need to find it.
Madeleine was too scared to sail for the first time in her life and her mother was talking about paedos instead at the pool.
"There was one occasion, on Thursday, 3rd of May 2007, around 10H30 in the morning, where
she cried at the launch of the yellow safety boat in the ocean where all the children were sailing. She was scared and fearful and cried on my lap "I am scared, I am scared." We only used the launches to transport the children to the small yellow boats. When we returned to the other boat she was happy again. She sailed in the small boat and even though some children had the opportunity to return to the port, she stayed for a second time as she appeared to be having a good time."
