Our Hiab truck was in Portchester to collect a derelict yacht from a garden. The boat had been in the garden for a number of years and had fallen into disrepair. Her trailer was shot and the boat was well beyond economic repair. The issue we had was getting the yacht out into a place we could lift her. Our lorry was too big to get into the driveway so we had pull the boat along the drive on what little air we could get into the tyres. It’s always a risk as the trailer could have collapsed on us at any moment. As you can see from the video we eventually got her away.
