Oh dear.

Some kind of racing keel boat?

 

[armchairsailor]

Who forgot to loosen the warps? Oh no, hang about, that's for tidal harbours, isn't it?
Yikes.

Olympic secret weapon discovered!

Looks like the game's up for Team GB as their 'stealth 49er' is discovered in Liverpool.

Not called 'Astute' is it?

either liverpool is quite shallow, or that boat has a very deep keel. Doesn't look too far under.

Thankfully, being an open boat, there's a good chance it'll not take too much to get it back to its former glory again. At least there's no cabin to get destroyed.

Very sad though. I'd be absolutely distraught if I found Kudu like that.

 

[Otter]

Heartbreaking for the owner. Shudder at the thought of it happening.

I thought the same. Could the ropes actually be holding it up? the pontoon looks like it is being pulled under.

Relax, it looks like an open dayboat & the owner hassn't visited to pump it out in ages so the rain has done what it does. It will be none the worse once lifted & drained. No engine, no cabin, no electrics - no problems really.

It is not the end of someone's world, just a consequence of neglect.

 

[kindlebooks]

Sad.

BTW what is that black bit, @ masthead pointing aft (and down)?

Looks rigid, so I can't figure out what it is.

 

[Simondjuk]

Well said. It probably gets similarly wet when being sailed in a blow.
