The Lifeboat

[[2574]]

I received "The Lifeboat" magazine from the RNLI today. Has anyone else seen the nightmare pictures of the lovely Hallberg Rassy 12m being crashed against the cliffs and eventually her bow can be seen holed and bashing against granite and sinking. It happened at Dunbar, 5/7/2003 in F2 winds but a 3m northerly swell. Grounded and then pushed against the cliffs by the swell. Terribly sad, makes my toes curl.

See pages 26 & 27

I think there were video pics of this event on the forum soon after it happened. Nasty
