[Rhodes22-list] Sunken boat

[Jay Friedland]

Was it handled on their travel lift @ Mariners? As a sail-only marina, they used to be decent, but have lost a lot of business. I haven’t used Tom, but he’s been recommended and close by. 2 other names in demand after Sandy were Glenn Edwards, especially on larger boats, and possibly Don Balke in Tuckerton.

Chris, where was yours ‘manhandled’? 

I used GEB Marina on Green Street, Tuckerton, for many years as there were so few travel lifts on the island, especially that catered to smaller sailboats. They were reasonable and fairly easy to schedule, even helped pull my boat amid the chaos of Hurricane Sandy. They were recently bought and building both their marina business and the Dockside Cafe.

This year my wife was ill and required my attention so I brought boat to a boatyard for painting, starting up engine and launching.  After waiting  several weeks they finally told me it was launched.  I got a call a few days later that it had partially sunk. I have no idea what they did but my boat and batteries were submerged and ruined. This is picture of the hull in front of keel with a crack that obviously occurred after they painted it.  They are claiming it was a pre existing condition but I know she was seaworthy last season and I would have noticed this when I power washed bottom. I’m thinking they either bounced it in ground or strapped wrong.  Has anyone else ever had a similar incident?
