Yacht Capsized & Righted at Polly Steps - Teignmouth - 04/01/23

A short edit from the video due to go live on 11/01/23 - I head to Polly Steps, & not only see the capsized yacht, but I also film the moment that they righted it again - Good Job Lads!!!

You will find it was the Teignmouth harbour commission staff that recovered the yacht. TMS are working on the bridge. 👍

Ooopps - My mistake! Thanks for letting me know for the future - I just saw the vans and though that was who it was...

[@fionaboss1512]

Fantastic job, well done 😊

[@bobcholawo6787]

Good to see them recover the yatch, we know what that's like when Anne's little boat sank, we worked all night, well actually the neighbour's were fantastic and they worked all night too.... I having driven up from Devon spent my first night trying to fix a leak in a hot water cylinder, then the dramatic sinking the following day so at about 3a.m the following morning. I walked back to the house from the harbour mud, to fetch something, I think it was a flask of coffee and food and I fell asleep in my kitchen, not because I did not want to go on helping, it was pure exhaustion. I don't think I have ever been so exhausted and I was young back then. 😜

Glad you got it sorted - If that bit is in the book, I havent got to it yet 👍

[@bobcholawo6787]

@@BillsPhoneTeignmouth oh well done Bill. It warms my heart to know you have the book. I forgot if I had mentioned it. I was also thinking just now, why did I mention our boat at all? Well, it is just by way of sharing. Keep the video's coming.

[@fionaboss1512]

Well done to all those who righted this yacht it is quite an achievement, love watching the estuary from Polly Steps

[@BillsPhoneTeignmouth]

Yes, it was the Harbour Master - Not TMS as I incorrectly stated in the video 👍

[@mrbigbadtrev]

Perfect timing, that was interesting to see😺.

[@BillsPhoneTeignmouth]

Yes it was! I really struck it lucky with the timing that day 👍👍👍

lol i forgot about this video oops lol. that was cool nice to see this mate good to see it standing up

[@BillsPhoneTeignmouth]

No worries! Just an extra vid as the capsized yacht had been getting a bit of attention on Facebook, so I wanted to get it out quickly 👍

[@SionsTrainVideos]

@@BillsPhoneTeignmouth ah ok great video tho. I uploaded

[@bobcholawo6787]

Assume they got it righted before it filled with water. Anne's boat had filled with water and it took two years to fix it here. well, I guess if it was yesterday it probably did fill with water.

[@BillsPhoneTeignmouth]

I think it was full of water. I saw that there was a pump going - May be a bit more in the longer edit in the proper video scheduled for the 11th. Not100% sure. Yatch had been that way for a couple of days...

[@bobcholawo6787]

@@BillsPhoneTeignmouth yes, I noticed the pump, but thought it was from the other boat, then realised it probably was just the hose part on the other boat.

[@fat_tommo_goes_boating]

Such a shame, especially as that yacht has been for sale for a few months too.

[@BillsPhoneTeignmouth]

Yes, it is a shame, but at least its right side up again now 👍
