Fishing boat lost off Nantucket washes up in Spain three years later

Published by at 2:39 pm under General

This is pretty amazing. I’ve heard of messages in bottles travelling long distances, but never abandoned boats. This tale of the little center console that could is going to be some lucky boat builder’s dream advertisement very soon [update, it's on the manufacturer's homepage]. Thanks to Joe Nick and Charlie for figuring out it is a Regulator 26.

    The word on Reel-Time is that it’s a Regulator 26. What do you suppose happened to the engine?

    Figures. Those things are built like brick shithouses. Definitely wasn’t a Sea Ray, those go blub-blub.
