Bounder update

Hopes remain to recover yacht but weather causing problems

Having lost her keel and capsized on Saturday the yacht Bounder is still a salvage in progress with weather conditions hampering progress.

Members of the yacht’s crew along with owner Chris Little were able to locate the yacht on Sunday but due to the weather were unable to put any recovery plans into place.

It is understood the upturned hull of the yacht is still afloat in English Channel to the south of the Isle of Wight and the Solent Coastguard is issuing navigation warnings to warn other shipping to keep a watch out for the semi-submerged hull.

Bounder’s skipper Anthony Haines is currently assessing the situation today.
