12ft skiff is now 2 x 6ft skiffs

Having recently celebrated its 21st birthday the Foxy Lady Two is no more

It seems whilst recovering from a capsize she was run over by a charter sailing ship

As you can see not a great result

Is Wolfie OK?

 

[Icedtea]

RIP

What a machine

Here are a couple of more shots. Both crew are ok which is more than we can say for Foxy Lady Too.

I understand the charter boat didn't even bother to attempt to render assistance, although it wasn't the most nimble thing out there today

...looks like it'll buff-out nicely! B)

...are the tiller extensions still good?

 

[AlStorer]

That's rather nasty. Glad the crew are fine. A sad day when a boat dies like that.

You could use part of the boat as a shallow water mark at POLEC FLATS

 

[GSJ]

The front fell off.

 

[FearBiter]

Tense few seconds on shore waiting to see the lads come safely out the back. Boats can be replaced, lives can not.

 

[F15 AUS]

Make some of it into a trophy for the nationals, and one half a bar. Then at least some part of the boat wont go to the tip

 

[Windward Mark]

Thats fucked. A 16 and a 12 trashed on the river this weekend.

I guess I had better stop progress on Wolfies new kite he ordered last week....... Glad he and his crew are fine, they are bloody lucky.

 

[kenS]

Glad to hear they're ok , guess that a great excuse for another new boat

 

[Windy6327]

Reminds me of a photo that used to hang in Nedlands YC.

Old ply dinghy in 2 pieces with a wake going straight through the 'new' gap and in the distance a speed boat...

Glad they are ok coz thats some nasty shit.

 

[Icedtea]

Glad they're ok... The transom will make a nice wall ornament?

Thats fucked. A 16 and a 12 trashed on the river this weekend.

What 16 was trashed?

Wilmot got hit by a boat but all he broke were his pole wires.

 

[Mel]

oh shit!

We will help as always with gear if possible. So glad to hear they are both ok!

 

[Phil]

Did the Seven Islands race on Saturday up that way. We had 2 crew watching at all times to leeward west of the bridge.

It was a crowded area, and I was glad to get the borrowed MD35 back in one piece.

Here are a couple of photof of Phil steering.

[skiffsailor_aus]

that's scary, but not that surprising given how half the charter boats these days are operated.

I'm really glad both the guys are ok!

Shame about the 12 though, looked like a nice boat!
