After much discussion and a wait of nine weeks a salvage team is assembled. Eight people take an amazing six days to get the boat up.  But get it up they do.  By now it has no value.  The cause of sinking is simple.  The hose on the galley sink came off.  That is why boats have seacocks.  By turning a handle through 90 degrees the Evelyn Roberts would not have sunk.

The marina have decided to leave her for a while in case anybody is stupid enough to buy it.  But in the present climate second hand restorations are two a penny.  And you can get two floating ones for that...
