Appeal for information

[shadow147]

Hello all!

Bit of a weird one here, and I hope mods don’t mind me appealing for information here—I am on the trail of my late father’s boat. It is part of his estate, but unfortunately, he didn’t leave behind many clues as to where it might be. It is likely ‘somewhere in Ireland’, and below is the boat info.

Please note that we have already contacted the Warden for Waterways Ireland, who has checked the reg and come up with nothing, likely meaning it’s been stored privately.

If anyone has any information at all regarding the boat, pointers for our search, or even if they knew my father, please do let me know!

Boat name: Rocky Racoon
Owner: Ian Roderick Gibson
Vessel Type: MacGregor 26 (Yacht)
Registration: 9969, registered with Irish Waterways in Enniskillen
Presumed stored out of the water. Likely overdue storage fees.

Thank you!!

Hello and sorry for your loss.



The MacGregor 26 is a trailerable boat, so it's quite possible it's sitting on a trailer somewhere on land. Maybe in a barn or storage facility or something. You may consider expanding your search along those lines.

Thanks very much for saying so, and for your suggestion!

After all the scouring the internet, it's been found stored by a random business owner so we'll finally be able to close things up next week.
(Do let me know if you're in the market for a 2003 Macgregor 26 by chance though!)

Wishing you all the best!
