Shambles (or what remains of her) is still on the forshore adjacent to FFSC.  She can only be described as a total write off and well beyond restoration - very sad.

Poor "Shambles" is still there - or what remains of her. Many of the bottom planks are now stove in and detached from transom.

My usual yearly report!  Shambles was still hanging on when we passed her earlier in 2012.  Not sure how she will have fared over the last winter.  Watch this space for the 2013 report!

I'm afraid this is the last report on Shambles.  Passing her final resting place this week I see she has finally gone to that great dinghy park in the sky.
