RAINMAKER DISMASTED OFF HATTERAS IN GALE

[Rushman]

"scheduled for restoration at the dockyard"...hmm, I didn't see any facilities outside the AC sheds that were suitable for such a job when I was down there last month, but who knows...

Step One... Sit in sun for 18 months

That's step 2 - Step 1 is drilling lots of holes.

Take 18 months to find the drill once the AC leaves town

Maybe captain courageous will come down to manage the refit himself.

It's just getting a going over by the insurance co.

Will be a reef or planter bed

Hotrod should buy it

I hear Peter is between gigs at the moment maybe he is available for a small fee and control of the checkbook

apparently an ex significant other controlling the checkbook has been an issue in the past

Too funny, I was up in St Georges a week ago and we got on Rainmaker and poked around it, not really much left, but I guess someone is always willing to take a crack at it. The head fixtures were still there... I expect it will reemerge as Frankenboat motorized cat in time for spectating the AC events.

Rainmaker was well on its way to being a floating marine life habitat.

Then someone had to come along and disrupt that.

 

[bigfoots dick]

The Franken Spectator powercat might be a better fit for captain courageous.

A little FSR and she is good as new...

They need to tow back into the environment.

Cutting edge adrenalin rush to slimey derelict.
Why oh why is sailing dying?

For now....

They have just compressed the lifespan of a boat into a few months instead of many years. You have to admire the efficiency.

Deck Boats - not for winter ocean sailing

Funny... i see zero evidence of any collision with another vessel as stated by the crew. The only forward hull damage is inside hull damage probably from the longeron breaking loose and swinging into the inner side of the port hull.

I am really not sure what value this platform has (certainly not any where near the original cost) after being adrift for so long.

can i stop praying now?

Sugar Scoop NEVER a good idea as a Bow - Outside of any area you can easily swim to shore from !!
