Ethel Clare is currently on the hard at Te Atatu, post a wee trip to the bottom. Her subsequent hauling out revealed a ‘few’ bits missing. Lets hope this time she gets the attention she deserves & needs 😉

So easy to at least plumb her up.
We offered a working berth and free slip way when required. Bob Wylie gave a very reasonable quote to shift her. She would have been away from public scrutiny. The offer still stands if someone wanted to encourage him to follow through.

4 months later and she is still sitting there racking up yard fees with nothing done apart from someone perhaps having had a pick at the rotten keel with a crowbar.. Repairs/resto MY ASS, she hasn’t even been levelled in her cradle.

I visited the boat at TBC this morning & in all respect Pam, if the owner went to a fortune teller – he would get dealt the card below.

I rang Greg the owner of Ethal Clare and there has been a miss understanding about her needing a new owner.
He intends to make the repairs to her.

I see she sunk on 15 th 16 Dec.
There’s free slipping here if that can be of a help to anyone, for her. But that’s tricky she needs to float again for that to be of use.
Might go for a drive.

Hi Baden,
Is this a recent photo?
How long has she been on the hard now please or in other words has she opened up severely?
