The Shielmartin is a wooden boat, designed by J.B. Kearney.
She was bought in England, brought to Ghent, and stripped internaly for some major overhaul.
But, as happened all too frequently, halfway the project, the owner's family situation changed, and the project came to a halt.
Now there's this beautifull wooden hull just rotting away in some dock in the port of Ghent. I've seen her go from repair to restoration state, and is now all but lost.
The guy said he paid 15.000£ for her, and wants to see half of it before he parts with his boat. Even if you paid a million pounds for your mercedes, if you leave it in the woods with all the windows open for a few monts, you're not getting your 500 grand back.
Is there something like a RSPCA for boats to protect them from people who mistreat them ?
