On the 10th April 2008, sadly our boat Dizzy was stolen from her mooring and sets on fire. The vessel was a complete write-off. The sad thing was I first restored Dizzy in the 90s with my late father. Of which I have lots of fond memories, so with all of that taken into consideration I decided to purchase the wreck back from the insurance company. With the help from Mr. Craig Fitch from CSF Welding, who constructed the superstructure of the new rebuild. And very close family friend Matt Marshall on the general fitting out, we are not far from completion, I hope to post some photos on the website soon.
