Fuel tank leak

[Mr Googler]

Well...it’s complicated... but would you expect different ?‍ There is no standing room at the haul out place...so the boat will be towed (after they lower the mast) to their own yard...then they will either test it or just take out the tank...apparently the boss has experience with this and had a Swift Trawler 44 (larger than mine) and they found a defective weld and rewelded it...but it’s probably engine out...

It will be nothing like as dramatic as you think. Gives you a chance to get the engine parts rarely seen ??

I don’t even know where their yard is...

I don’t even know where their yard is...

Might be an idea to find out ??

I can’t follow them....my car will be parked at my home port...

 

[Bouba]

The only clue I have is that they are lowering the mast to get under a bridge...

Grimaud, perhaps?

Too far...around Bormes or Lavandou I’m guessing

Do you not have a pilot book and chart at home for general planning?

On the boat...

May be good idea to let your insurance co know that the boat is being moved by road to a boatyard for repair.

I can only guess that the yard owner has seen this thread and is trying v.hard to make sure you never visit while they are working on your boat.
Which in a way is v.good news as that means they'll probably tackle and finish the job within a week

good luck anyway (must be arriving soon!)

He might be paddling her in?

Follow that boat !!!!…

 

[Bouba]

Early morning boat ride at fast speed (for me)…handed the keys over and now enjoying a much earned coffee

 

[Mr Googler]

Well….the tractor is smart. That’s a bad sign potential cost wise

Follow that boat !!!!…

[Bouba]

The search for a taxi begins…

 

[Portofino]

Bomes .Stayed there a few times .

 

[Blueboatman]

Excellent news
Movement ?
Fingers crossed
“Don’t just fix it , bloody improve it so it doesn’t happen again “ - I try to live by when faced with recalcitrant boaty bits..
So, best of luck and well done
