The holding-tank on the port side is getting full.

The QE swung a little too wide getting into its berth?

Looking at the other boats and the rear port mooring chain I would guess there's a fair bit of windage rather then a ballast issue.

A bit Brahms & Lizt? Actually it's empty and there's a strong wind.

so why is the other one exposed to the same wind not listing too? wasn't that windy when I went past on sunday, not to make a ship that size list?

I'm reliably informed that there was a ballast tank problem and a tug has been alongside today pumping water into the correct tanks. She is now on a more even keel.

She is upright again for sure. Walked past her tonight with my dog, went past her yesterday on the dinghy, it was windy but not that windy although windy enough for my dad to get a real good soaking on the way back in....... I had the outboard tiller! 
sorry dad!

I called QHM on it yesterday morning at about 0500 as I chugged past in the dinghy. They thanked me, but said they were already aware and it was an "engineering defect". It certainly looked a bit odd!
Absolutely 100% not windage as you can see from the water!

The starboard chain is ignoring the list!

Or, as a previous swmbo said " Our boat was seen to develop a port lust."

It's for sale: a new listing.

It's being held in reserve - on the emergency list.

If it is for sale, does that explain the absence of name and number?

The two ships are presumably Gold Rover and Black Rover. Gold or Black has been greyed out on the listing one!

Pretty sure that's black rover. As my boy shouted black rivers fallen over as we sailed past on Sunday afternoon
