We are waiting for an official report on the damage to the pilot schooner No.5 Elbe. The impact zone was to the forward portside of the historic schooner as shown below.

Oooh this is ugly. Looks like it missed the stem which would have complicated the repair, but there are going to be a lot of new planks and frames to put in. Since they have to be long lengths with butts spaced appropriately, it will involve a much larger area than the hole. Hopefully the keel wasn’t damaged. This boat will be out for the season, if they can get right at it. Longer if not,or if legal issues mess it up.
This boat was at a yard I worked at just before it was shipped to Germany.
