Sunk Westerly, Brixham Harbour.

Anyone know whose little Westerly this is? Looks like a Warwick?
Spotted by SIL who is staying locally.
JOR DANCER??
Shame.

JOR DANCER does not figure in the 2022 or 2023 Westerly Owners Association Yearbook. I found a Warwick of that name in a 2008 Yearbook, moored in Portishead, but I would imagine it has changed hands since then.

What a real shame

Heartbreaking for someone.

Strange name. Has anyone thought to check Major Dancer?

There’s a discussion of what happened started by a bloke with mooring nearby on the Shoestring FB page. Pretty heartless reading.

Occam's Razor. See my post #3. There was a Westerly Warwick called JOR DANCER around in 2008.

If you Google image search the name +Brixham it brings up lots of images of the boat in happier times (quite recently)

Given that over the last three years two vessels have been reported on this forum as 'sunk in Brixham' and I am spending a week sailing from Brixham in August 2023 should I be worried?

Better Brixham than Torquay though . Very sad for the westerly involved as it does seem a set of moorings ideal for westerly and no doubt cheap as chips compared to MDL

The big yacht fire at Torquay was 'impressive', perhaps not the right word, but you know what I mean.

Friends are on a pontoon not far from the fire. Thankfully, they were not onboard then it happened.
