50 foot Carver...sinks...

[km1125]

They're in the middle of hauling the boat. They have it mostly out of the water, but are emptying the water inside so it's light enough to lift the rest of the way. There's a few pictures on the Smith Point facebook site:

Be nice if we could find out what salvage yard they're taking it to, and have that salvage yard become a member and post their info. Probably a LOT of parts that could be available for folks with similar models (or models that used similar parts). Railings, plexiglass... some of the fiberglass...etc.

Source of the post Well, at least they were prepared!!

It was cold enough to give me a stroke.

Coast Guard Station Milford Haven launched a 29-foot response boat and established communications with the eight people in the water via handheld radio. The mariners shot off flares and directed a rescue craft to their position.

I wouldn't want to be sitting in that COLD water for two seconds, let alone the long minutes that they were!! Glad everyone was AOK!

I will fill you in after survey is done. If possible I’d like to fix it. Motors were shut off before sinking
