Never leave your boat unattended and go on holiday

unconfirmed, but a passer by told us that the owner had left the boat in the hands of a friend, but we don't know that as fact, just hearsay...

Good work fellas.’ Does a RCR Gold membership cover this event or did insurance pay?
@rivercanalrescue64507 ай бұрын
No, our memberships all just cover break downs, inspections and parts, depending on the cover. Insurance generally covers salvage and re-floating, depending on your cover and I would urge everybody to check their small print and ask questions of their insurers to make sure they are covered for sinking and possible accommodation if you are made homeless. It can be quite and expensive time if you are not covered

Very interesting video. What do you use to block holes like this in the hull of aluminium boats like Sea Otters ?

We do also use plastic plugs

Weed hatch missing ! ! I believe that short of a torpedo, sea mine , car crash off a bridge, tree crash on to roof, gas explosion etc etc you got the drift then either weed hatch, stern gland , or modification in the wrong place ( which can happen by stupid humans and has happened) then floating should continue ohh the bilge pump has to be an Automatic one failed and boat left for long periods and lots and lots of rain
