As far as I am aware 2550 Buccaneer was moored on the Trent when she was struck hard by an unknown vessel and sank. the owner was asked to move it because it was a navigation hazard, she was patched and pumped out but while she was being lifted out she "fell to bits" and is now Bryant & May. It can be confusing when boat's have the same name, there are at least two Pheonix's and I have lost count of the number of boat's called Hyperion

Thanks for that.   She was the best of the lot. I don't suppose you know where her bits were deposited?   Long shot I know but any fittings would be a help...

Cheers
Don

Sorry dgray her demise was some time ago, her bit's are most probably long gone, she was as you say a very nice boat.

This is what I saw,(In my early 20s in Bowling Harbour half sunk) and hope is the boat that was saved by a crew members daughter. My contact says it is being rebuild in a barn in Dumbarton(Oxhill)..the last confirmed sighting was a few years ago by my boss...when he was on the "tools" at Sandpoint Marina in Dumbarton being dried out!(the boat not him)

it was moved by lorry a year later....I cant find it in Dumbaton....but the search will do on!!!

will be in touch soon!

 

Jim.

P.S The plan was to more her down south...if she made it please let me know..My contact is the guy who told me of the MTB at Girvin,the lead was good but the boat had moved on, so im' ok with his word so far!!!!

P.s Christian he owns the Diana II.

 



This was Luckey Dollar. We raised her for her owner. She was in a poor state having been sunk, and suffering fire damage. She was towed up to Paisley where she was eventually destroyed with a JCB. :(
