    I'm sure it will buff out with maybe a bit of touch-up paint.:D

    No I haven't seen it posted here before. That was an expensive mistake. Not just for the yacht but their reputation and business.

    We have seen a number of those here. I do not remember seeing that particular one though.

    I'm pretty sure that's the first appearance here...

    As Arcanis said, another one for the DYT brochures. :rolleyes:

    I was at a yard in Bellingham, Wa. about a year ago and watched a 55' steel trawler fall 16 feet from the TravelLift. Fortunately it was a well built steel boat and it fell into the water. It was remarkable how relatively little damage there was to the yacht. There were a lot of mistakes with the worst being that the owner was aboard. It was a serious accident that could have been tragic. It really was painful to watch. The owner still hasn't completely recovered.
