Abandoned Yacht in Bush Collection Video

The Boatbreakers team had an interesting collection recently. We were tasked with collecting an abandoned boat from a bush in Swanick. Luckily on the day the bushes had been chopped back to give us half a chance. As you can see from the video we sent in our Hiab to lift the boat out of the bushes and load her ready for transport.
