Lets hope the mast is lying horizontally on the bottom and not stuck in the mud standing up.

I read somewhere the other day that the rig was still attached so they had planned to separate it and recover it at the same time as the hull.

A very Cherub-style snout on Rambler ( except of course the snout itself is longer than a whole Cherub )

I quite agree! BTW Rambler is now ashore at Endeavour Quays Gosport.

Looks sexy to me. The yellow looks better on it than on a Pico.....I guess beauty lies in the eye of the beholder!

Interesting article with a first hand report from the crew. Thought it would be worth sharing. |
