Yacht still for taking
(N Z. Press Assn —Copyright) LONDON, June 20.
An English boat builder and his wife still hope to find someone to take away a 40-ton, partially built “black monster” yacht, abandoned on their property by a New Zealander six years ago. But despite wide publicity over the last fortnight, they have had no luck so far.
One man who tried to take away the yacht soon gave up the job and left it partly blocking a private road on the property at Lymington, Hampshire.
The boat builder, Mr Peter Webster, said the boat was moved on to his property from a field by a New Zealander named Mr Watt who they believe has returned to New Zealand.
