Graham Nash Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Good evening. I have just come back from walking my dogs at Baiter (14th September) and see a RED & WHITE FISHING BOAT... looks like a Colvic of about 22ft - 26 ft whick looks like it is dragging its anchor/mooring ashore at Baiter. The name on the wheelhouse is KINGFISHER. If you know the owner it might be worth giving him a call. Fortunately it looks like a displacement hull boat so it will probably sit sort of upright on the beach, but I am sure they will want to know where it is. Graham.

wotu2uk Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 2 crew were working on it by wading alongside this afternoon. no idea what they were doing, but they were getting thrown about by the sea conditions. They had the boat anchored both ends, stern to the beach, just by the entrance to baiter car park in very heavy surf. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Stealing electronics and other items maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pirky Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 I wonder if anybody informed the Harbour Master or other Port Authorities ??? Perhaps the Harbour Police could prevent the "salvage" operations and get the owner back on the boat...... Any News ???? Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Nash Posted September 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 I must be honest I didnt inform either Dave .... in hind sight it was a pretty obvious thing that I chould have done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 I believe, if you contact the Harbour Master, they'll try to contact the owner (via the mooring numer or name). At least that was the case in the mid '70's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Nash Posted September 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 I see it is back on its mooring tonight .... obviously no major damage done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsplace Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 On a related note, does anyone know the owner of a small boat, similar to a Shetland named "Tango" that was tied up by the now wasteland to the right of Poole bridge? Unfortunately she is lying on the bottom sunk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wotu2uk Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 I am fairly sure, having watched them for an hour, that the two people were repairing the boat hull, not removing parts. It is hard to remove bits from the boat, while standing up to your chest in water in difficult surf, with the gunwhale of the boat level with your head. john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 That boat has been down a while - at least since the Open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
