We passed this sad sight yesterday at Stowe hill near Weedon Bec the home of Rugbyboats . It seems that the boat was taken out to be blacked and then put back into the water when the work was completed. Then the following morning it was on the bottom. It seems that the owner is a livaboard so you can only imagine how bad he feels.
(Not so) Happy Days
Oh dear that's not a pretty sight I hope the owner fairs better than poor ole Peter & Margeret formally of NB Kelly-Louise!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you know their story.
Cheers for cruising along and sharing your travels.

Hi Ade , remember the Kelly Louise saga well, not a good outcome for the owners . Let's just hope this guy comes out of it OK..
DeleteOoooops! Me thinks weed hatch!
ReplyDeleteOooo unless on blasting the bottom off they put holes in it?
ReplyDeleteHi Sue , It just goes to show how easily things can go wrong and then it becomes a disaster especially if it's your home as well.
DeleteIt seems that the boat has now been lifted out and a survey has been carried out which found problems with the condition of the hull. I'm not sure why this wasn't noticed when it was blacked. There has been a few bits on Facebook about it ,but then the posts and comments seem to disappear . So I'm not sure what is going on...
