Yes.
But you can buy it from me direct for £55k with new engines. I will also guarantee the 76mph top end - unlike most boat sales....

It seems...

..The cause of the capsize, was a gimble yoke failure!

Luckily, the crew are all fine.

I guess it's a case of a complete stripdown of everything??
Thanks for a great day Jon, shame we couldn't do anything about the weather, sorry we weren't there for the card game etc, turned back after the cat was towed away as we'd have had to go back to cowes that evening and decided the turning tide would have made it worse!
Any idea when pictures will start to be uploaded?
Cheers, Max

Max,

Unfortunately, because of all the spray we were getting over the boat at rest with the strong wind & choppy conditions while waiting at the card stops etc, I didn't get my camera out of it's peli case (waterproof), as it would have gotten instantly fkked, so the only pics I have are of the on-shore stuff, at drivers and in Cowes. I'll post a few that I have, but there's no action shots at all.

sorry

Don't be sorry!! Dad's first reaction to seeing the cat was "Are they ok? Take some pictures!!" so I did, which resulted in my camera taking a soaking!!

When I left an hour ago, they were working on the motors trying to get them running again.

Heard it was an Active Thunder, 33? 37? Certainly looked a monster boat to be in Southampton Water
