We`ve had a small problem with your new boat Mr F.

[Henry-F]

I`ve funded a few trips to various paint shops over the years, especially with the race cars but someone`s going to have the piss taken for more than a couple of nights down the local on the strength of this.

Off topic but couldn`t resist sharing it, besides boats & fast cars go hand in hand.

That poor bugger at the back is probably going to come out of this looking rather second hand... I'd love to see some photos of the aftermath!

Your sense of humour over this Henry must mean that either it isn't your boat or someone else is footing the bill???

Henry, its ideal for racing at Oulton! Paint it in the 911 Vigin colours and lend it to Pete and you have a winner on your hands!

intersting quote from the yachting forum:

"I have the hi-res. I've checked for continuity of shadows as well as pixelization along hard edges. From a hydrodynamic perspective, the separation and dispersement of spray from the bow entering the water is indicative of the event. In my opinion, it's definately NOT P-chopped."

Many gin-palace owners have them shipped backwards and forwards between Europe and the West Indies and places like that so that they can sit on deck and laugh at the yachtless plebs around them in good weather all year around. Looks like this boat was getting loaded or unloaded for such a shipment and part of the loading rigging gave way. I doubt it was being shipped as a new boat, as the boat-builder would surely have helped out in this regard to ensure that the new boat would not suffer the sort of mishap Henry's picture graphically portrays before it could even get delivered to the customer.

blimey.

if you look at the seat covers and the way everything is hanging id say the photo was also real.

[School boy]

How come it looks a lot longer in the splash photo than it does in the upside down one?
