This is a short video of our last trip in Black Pig before she was stolen. She is a Privateer 20, and will be missed by the whole family. If you see her then please contact http://www.stolenboats.org.uk/view.php3?q=2890
I sailed her out of Portishead on the Severn Estuary, down to Cardiff, over to Watchet, round the Holmes... very versatile rig and great fun to play with the tops'l (did you still have it?). Huge weather helm (which kept me safe on a couple of occasions!).
I found the Black Pig rotting in a Woodbridge boat yard in 2004; my Father and I had a great time putting her back together - we have many photos and notes. I built the little kitchenette :-)
Nice, too bad about Black Pig.

Broke my heart to sell her on - I'm thrilled to bits to see her being enjoyed, and gutted to hear she's been stolen. A thousand curses, etc. etc.

I hope you find the people that stole your boat and when you do I hope you turn them into crab bait.
Good luck.
