What did they expect? Yachts can't fly.

you have to ask why someone was hitching a ride on a slung load! Not good practise. That's a couple of quid to put right.

That bloke in the second photo looks so cool. Yeah, the boat is falling. It's OK.

According to the e-mail that the images were attached to it was his new boat. I hope that he didn't have the $7,000,000 to pay for it in his pocket.

Don't see why, it has a couple of propellers at the back.

they do seem to rely too much on the friction between the straps and the sloping underside of the boat.

kinda, there are always slinging points to be used on any lift. If these aren't clear, or are ignored, things can go very pear shaped!

Well kinda did the guys a favour really, better to find out now that it doesn't float the right way up than later!

oh well could have been worse - they could have trashed a real yacht rather than this glorified pastic fantastic speedboat.

If it ain'g got sails it's not a yacht.
