Yacht sunk in Port Erin

[Mrs Seagoon]

Not the first yacht to suffer on that mooring:http://www.iomtoday.co.im/news/Dramatic-rescue-after-yacht-runs.3201870.jp
Does anyone know what eventually happened to this yacht as I owned her for 10years and would love to know she survived.

This slightly later report suggests that she did survive - http://www.iomtoday.co.im/your-pictures/Port-Erin-yacht-rescue.3226515.jp

Great sequence of pictures!

Sorry - didn't realise she was yours.

Is that immaculate Gilera 4 still in the shop window on the sea front?

Not mine, just reporting as Photodog says. I live just by Port Erin, I am on the beach most days walking the dogs.

Dunno about the Gilera, I'll have a look. Usually the windows are full of old Brit iron

Cheers, Steve

We might have walked past each other! I have anchored there many times when crossing to Ireland and also often had to visit the marine biology lab on the fish dock at Port Erin; I believe it is closed now? I often seemed to end up in that big, white pub on the corner with a view over the bay, forgotten its name.

And she floats. A lot of damage tho', will be an expensive job to restore her to her former glory.

Yep, it spent the morning in Port Erin. We saw it earlier in the day when I took the photo of the bow, but I only had the compact camera with me. About 5 metres, so not the biggest.

Looks like they are going to sail her out - must be dinghy men
