STORM AMY: INVERCLYDE YACHT DRIVEN ASHORE AT HELENSBURGH

Still images taken in Helensburgh of the operation to retrieve the yacht Knight Vision from where storm Amy had brought her ashore. It was fascinating to watch. They took several goes at righting her so her keel was pointing in the correct position for the lift. This involved placing timber along her stern and sides and lowering her onto them so she slid on the lifting slings until she was upright and then it was up in the air and out onto the waiting yacht transport lorry. She will sadly be broken up. Christopher Brindle
