    That claim should be pretty straight forward to sort out. Unfortunate for sailboat owner.

    Instructions were Med Stern Moor at #** slip. OOPPSS, something was in the way..
    One of those self parking options in that big red boat?

    Going to need lots of foam-in-a-can to fill that hole..

    She had only been back in the water 2 days after a refit. Like many old wooden yachts, you tie them alongside to let the planks take-up and seal after a period drying on the hard.

    She is steel, and was built in 2000. Replica of Westward

    Ah, I thought she was a proper classic, not a copy.

    I stand corrected.

    I was prepared for total destruction (think toothpick factory) when I first saw the video, as I thought the same thing.

    I'm a bit skeptic that she won't be a total loss also if built in steel....

    She is still listed for $7,2 M, I suspect that all offers would be entertained at this point.

    Ken, old chum, I watched our house burn to the ground. Each time one of Mum's ceramic horses exploded through a window, we laughed oh, so hard it hurt.

    There is a spacing in the address so you can read it but not launch it.
    Copy/paste it to your web search line.
