Welcome to the Breaking Boats Blog

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfd45w9mRFY   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 [...]

Westerly Nomad Collected for Disposal One of our latest jobs was to collect a Westerly Nomad from the Grand Union Canal. The yacht is not the sort of boat you would expect to find on the inland waterways. However there was no mast or rigging and she'd been converted [...]

The Boatbreakers team had shut up shop for the day last Friday when we received a call for help. A small tender had broken free from the yacht which had been towing her.
