STOLEN AUSTRALIAN CLASSIC MOTOR-SAILER WITH A KIWI TIE-UP

WW was sent a heads up by John Dawson with a YouTube link to the video above. John stumbled across the video while trolling YouTube, when I checked it out, how could I not with a title that reads ‘A Stolen Sailboat, a Kidnapping and a Stabbing – The Mid Pacific Story’, I see it also appeared on the Australian blog – Southern Wooden Boat Sailing which I’m a big fan of, but I missed this story. It is a cracker story about a theft of a 1960’s classic wooden motor-sailer, from Morten Bay, Australia and the plan was to sail to New Zealand and sell her. Things didn’t so as planed – click the youtube link and enjoy.
