This shows the importance of having your fenders down when at your moorings.

Not funny for the owners of the boats or the jetty. Do you know cause/reason?

I'd be perusing the sales brochures as soon as I was informed, if it was my boat.

 

It looks like spectacularly bad tug driving to me.

Oh dear!

 

I presume, because, there was a tug along side, there was also a pilot in attendance?

 

Just goes to show that you never now what can happen in tight situations!

 

Just think of he noise of all the Tupperware cracking!

I doubt a steel leisure boat would have faired up much better blink.png

I'm sure he will, but you seemed to be saying that not being able to go slowly didn't really matter.

It doesnt. You get used to what you have.

In the first half, there is a large blue boat to the left which seems to just miss being damaged - in the second half it is either not there having been moved (not enough time?) or this is another few boats being demolished later on. I think it may have taken out a second jetty as they continued the turn.

I think you are right there.

 

They have a tug in attendance as well! Really not sure how or why it went on this demolition derby.

Is speed really to blame here?

 

I expect not!

The assumption here is that this was all accidental.

 

Can we be sure that a "Tupperware" boat has not pissed him off completely earlier in the day, and that this is not simply a case of deliberate revenge?
