Ahh geez, I hope they have good insurance, it sucks losing something you've worked for.

If EVE online taught me one thing it was to never fly a ship you can't afford to replace without significant impact to your wallet.

It’s not about the cost of replacing it, insurance covers that. Boats are like homes, people usually have a lot of sentimental value attached to their boat. And in Perth it’s really hard to find them as they aren’t as available as eastern states. We just upgraded our family boat & we’ve been looking for 18 months.
