    Lukly she is made out of Mahogany so is like a tank but my god was it horrible watching the wind and waves battering her up against the rock armour out of action till next season now lukly there is no serious damage no holes or split planks but a lot of water damage:(:(

    Yeah force majure is a b@stard! What's the point of having insurance if they don't pay out for stuff like that?!?!

    OMG
    That is just truly horrible Richard. My heart goes out to you.
    The good news is she certainly seems to have stood up to the battering pretty well. There's certainly a lot to be said for traditional build and craftsmanship. Wouldn't have fancied a similar experience with a GRP hull :blackeye:

    Hope everything gets fixed up good as new for you.
