Incentive BCK.41

HAS she been put rite after her sinking ?

Hope so, How bad was she?

i read  something about the ice splitting her planks open as she is cilnker built

Aye, I did hear she was given the gas trying to get out of Royal Keys in the ice, smashed the planks on the waterline and flooded in under a minute.
Shame I always hoped to get a look aboard her again one day.

What a load of bollocks you heard wrong, we crawled out of the marina and the damage was done due to thick refrozen sheets of ice that had been previously broken up by the bigger boats and refroze in front of the lock entrance and the soft boards it had along the waterline the boat sank due to the battery being flat on the hoist and so we were not able to get lifted out and it took about 20 minutes from the bilge alarm going off to sinking in the hoist bay hope this put the record straight ANDWAAHS, yes the boat looked good but that's all im afraid, its no longer on the register and currently being used as a pleasure fishing boat and as far as I know has now had the patched up soft boards repaired with new boards.
