I spotted this boat with a bit of a list on and quickly posted it up on the Facebook Solent Sailors group:
Sadly later on Ben posted this picture on Facebook:
Yet another boat bites the dust at Eastney. And the wife wonders why I go down and check on my boat every couple of days. Too many boats get left unattended for weeks or months at a time down in the pond and just end up trashed.
Such a shame.
Expensive! - probably a corroded skin fitting.
ReplyDeleteMore than likely that or a leak through the outdrive leg. Letting an outdrive touch the mud twice a day is bound to stress a seal somewhere. Its a shaame though because as soon as salt water gets inside it does horrendous damage.

ReplyDeleteEvery time I use my mobile to comment it sends two comments.... bizarre!
ReplyDeleteIt is sad to see a boat die. Luckily, I can go a week or two without checking on mine, since I'm out on a floating dock in company with friends, and we keep an eye on each other's boats. I suppose the marina staff would let me know of a problem too, if they noticed.
