A PBO photographer was on hand to see RS Divers refloat the yacht, Flying Fish and then hitch it to the Hamble Yacht Services launch to tow her home and hoist her out to examine the damage.

The collision occurred on the startline by Bald Head buoy and despite the crew’s best efforts, she sank in the Hamble River channel causing a hazard to other vessels.
