West Channel One Design yacht DESTINY back in the water - (September 2010)

After being out of the water for the last four and a half years, DESTINY was lifted back into the River Teign before being towed round to Dartmouth. Dartmouth shipwright, Guy Cottam, towed her round to Dartmouth following two days of preparation work.

She will now spend the remainder of the autumn taking up on a deep water mooring on the Dart while her prospective new owners put together their plans for her refit.

After three months on the Dart, DESTINY is now out of the water again and under a good winter tent allowing her owners to start the refit work at Noss Marina.

Nick Elkins, co-owner of DESTINY, is doing a first-class job on her refit. Nick and co-owner, Ben Warren, decided to remove her cabin sides and coaming and replace the original African Mahogany with Iroko. As of October 2011 she now has a new cockpit coaming, cabin supports & sides and a new deck. Nick and Ben are aiming to have her back in the water by May 2012.
