OK, as I said in another video YT notifications did not alert me to any of the this series of videos. I have spent the morning catching up on this very sad event. You clearly have been through a rough time but at least you have recovered the boat and got her home so things are under control now and things can only get better now. I am a retired Marine Engineer but would not deign to offer any advice at all, you clearly know what you are doing and have all the skills. Except to say it may help speed things along if a friendly naval architect with the necessary software offered to help crunch your numbers after modelling your hull from your drawings (to derive COG,CB,GM). I do know The Duracell Project (on YT) has a friendly NA who has assisted them in that regard - might be worth contacting them. Good luck with the clear up and assessment phase.😀👍⛵️

Thanks Norman, I have reached out to one who had retired and he referred me to one nearby that has already begun the process. cheers.

Gutted, absolutely gutted for you - I am still trying to catch up on this whole saga. Intrigued why you had the camera running all that time - I take it you knew that ‘all was not well’?

we were using the tide to lift the boat off the trailer and initially thought we were filming a happy event.

I have just found about this whole thing. I am really annoyed as I am subscribed and have notifications enabled too - useless You Tube. I am now catching up on the preceding events. Well done on the recovery.👍

I am so so sorry that your launch ended up the way it did. My heart broke when I saw your last video. I'm so glad no one was hurt. Luckily the bird wants to right herself and can be retrieved. I know you'll get her all patched up and she'll be back in the water in no time... we're all rooting for you!

I am heartbroken this happened after all the hard work you have put into her. Hoping you are able to get her safely on dry land and begin the journey to restore her way sooner than you had hoped. Thoughts are with you. I believe sailers are all family, feeling your loss.

Thank you for sharing all your hard work with us. Living on the boat was a very good idea to root out the less obvious problems now (and early) that otherwise might just lurk unseen.👍

Initially I started sleeping onboard because the wife was ill, but it became more obvious that it had other unthought of benefits. I know that I will have much more confidence when we go to water, that I won't get too many surprises.
