Illegal immigrants smuggled on classic 56' Camper & Nicholson yawl

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

Probably a good deal more comfortable than the average container.

Lovely boat, all the same.

That's certainly arriving in style.

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.

Some great comments below the article ..... refugees from The Lounge going undercover, I surmise.

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.
