It looks to me that this is an F32 designed by Ian Farrier for homebuilders. It weighs about 3,000 lbs dry, the floats do not disassemble, instead it folds down to 8′6″ beam (9′8″ for the AX version) and obviously is relatively easy to put on a trailer.

Honestly, Daily Mail is one of the worse newspaper in Britain! The owner is a porn peddler and the paper lacks any form of professionalism. The boat is a beauty and props to the man for building it but is it really news worthy?

Way to not read the article before blogging about it.

FTA:

“It’s not as though I’m some idiot who got the measurements wrong and is now stuck with a boat he can’t move,” he said.

“I knew from the start that once the boat was finished I would face some problems getting it out of the garden.”

If the yacht weighs less than 44 tons, he can have it lifted with a Russian Mil Mi-2 helicopter. That is one nice piece of machinery, the yacht I mean. Well, the helicopter too.

Also there is this thing called a crane. Perhaps the people that think this was news worthy enough to write about this have heard of one?

As usual Matt does not even bother to read the entire article in question before spewing his thoughts.

“RAF St Mawgan used to airlift boats for people in similar situations as me and used it as a training opportunity.

“But apparently they don’t do that anymore - so I am going to have to take the fence down to get the boat out now.”

Did you guys even read the whole article? He doesn’t need a crane, he knew this from the beginning, he just has to take down part of his fence and get some people over to lift it onto a trailer.

I wonder if this guy grew a long white beard during the process? That is a beautiful ship though…
