Whoops!! Years of Boating Blunders!

Can someone explain how they planned to launch that boat?

My guess would have been with inflatable bags such as these:

However a yard or an owner that doesn't insure either leads me to believe osmosis and witchcraft may have been tried first.

How would that work for a yacht without a flat bottom or with running gear that protrudes below the keel?

Great question.

Hi,

The first of the big AUSTAL Catamaran Ferries was built in a hole in the ground, when finished the end was opened up and the water came in, it would be possible to do the same with that boat I would think as it appears to be in some sort of depression in the ground.

One from Croatia, sank after lightning strike, and was later rescued and refurbished.

looks like he was in a hurry ...

Pardon my French.

WRT post #236:

It is interesting to see that the foil attachment was stronger than the hull girder. One would think, or hope, that the design would allow for the foil to fail without destroying the hull structure.
