Yes, you read it right! And there is a news station reporting it...So it must be true!
Unfortunately, we must always remember to trust but verify. Upon digging the scoop further I found a video of the "38ft catamaran" in question. It is indeed a Corsair Sprint 750 MKII (which if you know multihulls, you know this is trimaran). But, this clip/news article serves to remind us 2 very important lessons:
1 - As noted above, trust but verify. Make sure to check your news sources before jumping to conclusions.
2 - The second party on board did not know how to sail when the power shut off and the captain accidentally fell overboard. I'm glad they were not far from shore where they were able to receive a tow back. But, even coastal, it is good to have a MOB plan and basic knowledge of the boat you are aboard.
