Anybody own a Sigma in Portsmouth Harbour

[Bav34]

On a mooring bouy on the starboard side of the Portchester Channel ... four large numbers visible on the bow?

Sorry to tell you but it looks as though you have had a problem.

There was a large power boat still attached to its mooring bouy alongside your boat ! The ModPlod have towed your boat back to the next mooring. Suggest you contact them.

 

[Sandyman]

And her name was ?????????????????

I ask because I know three people who do.

Ah - was that the conversation I heard on channel 16 & then 67 this afternoon... a bloke going back to Port Solent called it in to Solent coastguard.

What an aggressive response !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Have I matched your number of question marks?) ???????????????????

So you know three people who's boats match '' On a mooring bouy on the starboard side of the Portchester Channel ... four large numbers visible on the bow? '' ????????????????????????????????????????????????

Bad news then ... two of them have been missing for at least three years as I have only seen one!

The distance involved was in excess of 0.5 of a mile.

Sorry, I can't tell you the hull number either.

From the location and the four large numbers it sounds like "Knights Challenge":

Assuming it is, I've contacted the owners.

Yep that's been confirmed by another forumite ... thanks.

The power boat has now been moved over to another GBY mooring.

Hope all ends well ... I started the repairs to MY boat today ... the 11 dings, chips and scratches have all melded into one area ... 6 feet square

Shame.

Interesting boat:

The same pair did the Shetland RBI race a couple of years back, too.

 

[Saguday]

That's a great story - good for the pair of them

Hope the boat is ok

 

[mehws25]

So What Happened?

I'd be interested in hearing the story??????

Since no-one else has, I will thank you for taking the trouble to post the limited information you had in an attempt to alert the owner to the situation. An effort which seems to have succeeded. Good work.

 

[Fantasie 19]

Bav 34 - were you the chap I was listening to on VHF??

Whether you were, or weren't, I echo the previous comments - well done..

 

[Bav34]

Ta.

No, I was land based and saw the police boat alongside the power boat AND yacht so got me bins out

The owner of the Sigma is phoning me tonight.

It's a bit ironic ... I have the contact details for five forumites whose boats I can see ... but failed to see the scrote who hit mine

Hey ho.
