The full video is horrific. A complete shambles, and lucky nobody was hurt. As the stern enters the water it looks as if the rudder gets wrecked. By the end of it, Pipistrelle may be floating, but judging from how low she is in the water, and the way she is rolling, she must be about half full of water. So hardly a job well done I am surprised that BWB allowed such a lax approach to health & safety. And they knew it was happening as there was a stoppage announced on Waterscape for the purpose. There's lots of comment on this already at http://www.canalworld.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=17135. David Mack
