    Moment yacht OAP had spent five years renovating SANK | Daily Mail Online

    Did he not test to see if it was waterproof before dropping it in the sea?

    Should have known better than to invite you to the launch ceremony.

        Given such a monumental school boy error, I'm guessing we should be pleased it didn't leave the harbor.

        The headlines may have read slightly different

            Yeah it didn't look overly 'finished' did it...

            Not sure whether those yachts have a single or multi skinned hull but the few times i did something like this on smaller dinghies the best option was to put water in the boat and see if it came out whilst on dry land - because then you could tell whether when you put it in the water the water would come in.

            Having said that bit of a shame for the fella!

                  what a bunch of 70 year olds have claimed to be working flat out on the EU but forgot to patch the hull so it will be flooded shortly?

                  I thought you were a bremoaner that is far too honest.

                    Don't worry, it was pitched above your level.
