Howard's Way yacht Flying Fish refloated

  • Tue, 13 Oct 2009

Divers position second pair of lift bags abaft the keel
Ruben Stephenson ad Matt Green in the water position a pair of lift bags beneath bow
Four supervisers and one RS Diver getting four one-ton lift bags on board
RS Divers in the RIB, Hamble Yacht Services and Harbour Master launches
A four-man team of divers and two 'essential' launches gather to supervise
Warsash and the Hamble so near... and yet so far<br /> <br />
Flying Fish sank as a result of a collision during club racing on Wednesday 15 July
Obviously a hazard to navigation
Special submerged wreck marker to warn other boats
Laser 28, Flying Fish, on edge of Hamble River entrance channel
Flap of glassfibre hanging outwards
Boot top chipped and scraped directly above the gash
But remove the strops and let it all hang out... Ouch!
At first glance, not the worst hole, just way down low
As the water drains from the collision damage, Flying Fish is hoisted clear
A small crowd gather to see how bad is the damage that caused Flying Fish to sink
