Sunk

While I was doing the housekeeping on Thursday, a couple were on board a westerly Nomad in the pond. It had looked a bit sick for a while and looked like it had taken on water.

On Thursday it looked fine, the waterline was where it should be and it looked like the couple were messing with the engine.

Imagine my shock when I went down to the pond today and saw this:


Such a shame. I can only wonder what damage has been done by the total immersion.

This is what it looked like when it first started taking on water:

    Hi mark
    We actually purchased the nomad after it was sunk in the harbour caused by a shackle going through the hull between the keels it has taken 9 months to refurbish the interior and had our first sail in her last weekend she's now back on a mooring in the harbour

    Well done for getting it back in sailing trim. That must have been some project to get it restored. It's good to hear its back sailing.
