Have you looked at the gallery of pics in the link?

I'd say the answer was .................. nope /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I can honestly sat I have never delivered a boat in such a fashion.

Never mind the collision, who sanctioned the recovery? OK, there was probably a lot of grp damage as a result of the collision but this would have been repairable. But the salvage operation resulted in a complete submersion which has probably written the boat off or at least massively increased the repair cost. Couldn't the salvage team have used flotation devices to avoid a submersion? I wonder what the insurance co think?

That's what i was thinking. Why not do a temporary repair to the bows before pulling it off. And thus sinking it. Odd.

How the .....

What a wast !. a few cans of expanding foam and resin slapped into holes whilst still on rocks surely could have kept it afloat to get it to hoist /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

If you look at some of those piccies... there is clearly a crane's lifting strop around the boat.... and I think the final pic, which shows it sunk, but at a different spot than were it went aground...... Could it be that the recovery went wrong?

very unproffesional,
that should have epoxied the bow with wood for the trip to the yard
I think they calcutaed the weight of the standard boat, and the boat was getting filled with water this doubled
