One of our favorite yachts, the recently restored Gipsy Moth IV has
run into trouble in the South
Pacific. The yacht, which went through
a
£300,000 restoration last year, is owned by the United Kingdom Sailing Academy. The yacht was going from
Marquesas to Tahiti as part of a round-the-world trek when she hit a reef. The yacht is lying starboard in deep water
and the crew was rescued. Marine salvage is currently attempting to salvage the vessel. Hopefully this historic vessel
can be saved and repaired but it isn't known yet if the yacht will continue on the global voyage.
