Title is clickbait - they climbed in whilst it was being transported back from the Med by lorry: Yacht owner 'sorry' for illegal immigrants who used boat to reach Plymouth

The yacht has previously been featured in Classic Boat: Couple restore second Nicholson - Classic Boat Magazine

All a bit odd as the boat had been parked at Millbay for several days before it was "raided" by the Border Force and the Police.

Over the last few months there have been several illegal immigrants coming in via Millbay. MOD Police have stepped up their patrols.

How can they be sure they were "in transit". My previous boat, parked on the dockside in Gloucester docks, suddenly grew curtains across the fore cabin and was considerably tidier than when I left it. The implied nightwatchman I did not disturb until I had to move the boat.
