- The latest arrival to the Boatbreakers Boat Scrapyard is a Vindo 32 Yacht. The boat had been involved in a collision at sea and suffered damage to her starboard side. We're not sure if the mast came down during the incident but it did not come in with the boat.
This video is a walkthrough video for our Boat Scrapyard Group members on Facebook. If you haven't joined the group yet all are welcome.

That is a great call to give this beautiful boat one more chance. Looks like nothing that cannot be fixed and as you say, mast and sails secondhand, certainly doable. Reminds me of my Rival 32 which has the exact same engine. Fingers crossed someone takes it whole. Andy UK
The previous owner obviously really cared for his boat and kept up the maintenance
Just look to Sailing Magic Carpet to see the restoration on a seriously damaged Vinod 32.
It would be a shame to see this beautiful boat being scrapped.. Is there a follow up to this story ??
She was saved. No follow up video but her owner did share some pictures on our Boat Scrapyard Facebook group of his progress.
@@BoatbreakersVideo Thats great news..
Omg..she's fine...just a little work...no worries for a classic
Mr Rumble used to own that. Lovely man. Eye surgeon.
Any update? Does she still exist?
i hope you can find a new owner who's gonne love her, she is gorgeous!
Great vid. From the initial view you've given, it seems dubious (almost dodgy) as to why the boat was 'written off' - must have been valued and insured for very little? To speculate, damage (nothing big shown) was forward port-side - so a third party fault collision ? - not stand on vessel coming from port side? Or did the helm sail her at full speed into a granite Solent Fort! I'm sure readers would love to know the back story. I so hope someone can save this old girl - looks like she deserves it.
Write off will be done if the repairs cost more than the market value and as he’s stated new spars, standing and running rigging with sails will be £20k+ on their own let alone with actual hull repairs that have to be done to Lloyds specifications for insurance and as a perfect concours vindo 32 would be around the £30k mark it’s an obvious write off from an economic standpoint.
yeah sorry looking at the hourly rates of professionals doing the repair, something like this will quickly become a "write-off", not really dubious IMO... still making this an excellent DIY project, which should not mean that it will not get costly to repair, but more realistic in relation to the overall value of the boat..
What are you asking?
If you are interested, please get in contact with us. You can find our contact details on www.boatbreakers.com. Thanks.
@@BoatbreakersVideo Does she still exist? Or was she disposed off?
What an absolute shame even you as a boat scrapper can see its nonsensical to write off a boat like this ,,,,,I just bought a camper and Nicholson 303 in southern Spain last year for not a lot had been abandoned 14 years in almeria ,went for our first sail last week
This one was saved and is being restored by her new owner. I'm not sure if she has made it back on to the water yet though.
