Re: Oops
 

Just as well it happened in port.
The bloody thing is unseaworthy if it can't manage a little dive like that.
How would it cope with a few cape rollers?

Re: Oops
 

It's fine, did the same with my boats in the bath when I was a kid....

Just roll it over and give it a quick wash ;)

I've seen a video clip of this launch somewhere - damned if i can remember where though :(

If I remember the 'blurb' correctly, the guy at the stern (+1 other I think) were both directors of the company that built the boat.

And yes, the boat was a write-off !!
