What do your family do then? that is a massive boat, the exterior was never finished to a pure super yacht standard though, or atleast the fairing of the hull

[koolchris99]

they chose the cream as white gets too dirty out in the middle east. it spends most of its time sat in port doing nothing..

that isnt good ?

what happened ?

[koolchris99]

was anchored in a cove for the night, wind picked up and dragged the boat onto some rocks. couldnt get the engines started so ripped the whole end off.

the captain phoned the Coastguard and being the middle east they didnt think it was important enough to come out to help. so the owner His Excellency Maqbool Al-Saleh got on the radio himself and they left to help sharpish.

he has a new one now, bit bigger.

[Alonso]

At least he got some use out of it unlike this guy

Ok bit of a stupid question here....

Would a drop like that critically damage a boat if it didnt hit the bottom of the channel it was being lifted into?

I dont know anything about boats.....

No such thing as a stupid question, just an ignorant answer

Yes you would consider that a right of for sure, the water ingres through out the boat would be ridiculous and you would never get it all out plus is will screw the electrics and probably knock the shafts out of alignment etc the list would go on for days of what would require checking and probably changing,
