She was a lovely looking yacht..

IIRC she was in St Martin over the winter. I believe I saw her there and dinigied past here numerous times. I did not realize she had such an illustrious status.

Sad loss.

On wonders what the hell went wrong?

Enigmatic story.

I am at a loss for superlatives for that one. Stunning.

Less wear-and-tear having her delivered as freight than on her own bottom

Sometimes...

There will be some unhappy insurers involved, I reckon!

He'd better to contact a professional delivery skipper

A lifting keel of 36 tons and she still needs rail meat. Well not anymore.

If this is in fact correct, the shipping company is looking better than it seemed earlier. I envision teams of lawyers, shiny briefcases in hand, forming up on the wharf, visions of sugarplums and big billing hours dancing in their heads!

Definitely following!

A friend of mine has his Beneteau Oceanis 54 on the same ship, going from Fort Lauderdale to Croatia. Peters and May claim no other boats were damaged, I sure hope so. But blaming the yacht's cradle without concrete info on their part smacks of CYA. The tone of their press release was quite aggressive.

I cannot relate

My Song has been recovered and towed to Palma. Obviously some damage to the hull (it's being kept afloat with bags!) and the rig gone.

Was it shipped with the rig standing? I have no opinion one way or the other, just thinking they may have removed it to ship given overall size of vessel.

It was shipped with the rig up.
