An RYA RIB and a Finn dinghy were stolen from Hayling Island Sailing Club on 30 September at 0530.

The 5.1M Orange RYA Tornado RIB is labelled ‘RYA 14’ in a black rubber stencil on the stern of both tubes, which would not be easy to remove without leaving a mark. It has a Yamaha 50HP Four Stroke on the back. There is a tow post behind the seat. The leather on the seat has been ripped and has duct tape holding it together.

The Finn (sail number GBR 593), which was strapped on top of the RIB on the trailer, has five sails in the boat.

Please contact the RYA on 02380 604162 with any information that could lead to the recovery of the stolen boats.
