The 36 foot yacht is a Comet III type built with a fin keel and was up for sale on the hard in Trinidad in March of this year. She was described as very stable, strong and reliable in any weather.
The yacht is most likely being extensively searched including having her keel removed. After any resulting trial the yacht will most likely be confiscated and sold by Customs.
Let’s hope the keel is replaced securely.
