capriosca Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 A few years ago we had a friend help us relocate our business. He had come up from his country home and was an enormous help in a task that took two weeks. As a bonus we decided to gift him our Spindrift 11S as we had a boat or two too many. People hooked on building will understand. It was some time since we had heard from our friend Jeremy and he called one day to say sorry - the boat was gone. It wasn't until several questions went back and forwards that he elaborated on the horror that his family endured. Only then did he mention that he lost his home and everything in it. They had to flee with what their car could carry - wife and two little kids and not much else. When they returned to see the devastation he noted that what was once the mast was was some melted alloy on the ground and the rest was nowhere to be seen. He now has reservations about rebuilding on his land which is very understandable. Most people have been having a very difficult time for all the current reasons but to be homeless with young children and being restricted in your movements is as tough as it gets. It was a great little boat that was thoroughly enjoyed by Jeremy and his family. Not sure if this an excuse to build again or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterP Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 My heart goes out to your friend. If I lived closer he could have my Spindrift. I also have one or two boats too many. Is there any other way he can be helped? PeterP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
