I don\'t believe it

After the debacle of the last boat I looked at that ended up with a broken mast , My Alacrity was loaded onto a trailer today for the move to Swansea . The person I bought the boat of discovered that the rudder had been stolen while it was beside the wharf at Mylor , He apparently spent 3 Hours looking for a replacement , Luckily he found one for an Alacrity , The only difference was the pintles did not line up . Thank goodness its a minor problem this time .

Does that mean there is another Alacrity owner, cursing because his rudder has disappeared?

Or did he buy it back off the person who nicked it in the first place . Pintles bent when the perp nicked it . /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I had an Alacrity once. If you dry out in mud thje rudder lifts off the pintles and floats away /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif. After finding out the hardway I put a lanyard on it.

Must remember to put a lanyard on the rudder ( Or remove Rudder ) .

Actually, I think Alacrity was the greek godess of the directionless, so don't be too surprised.
