Sailing into Penrose

[Peter ChadwickMember]

Hi all !
I havn’t had a ride for a while so I went for a ride at Penrose state forest (I ended up there by mistake), I had heard it is flat & boring, which is good when you ride like me. I had been riding around for about 20 minutes & was going up a hill through the pine trees when I came across a steel yacht, just sitting there! I don’t know how it was brought in because the trail is narrow & the trees are over grown.
Freaked me out when I first saw it. I have googled it since, & found a 4wd forum talking of this, with a picture, but in a different position.
Has any one else found unusual objects in their travels ?
Ive added some pictures sorry about the quality, I also have some video.

Wow. Didn’t think they made steel yacht’s but sure is different.

Nothing come to mine as yet for unusable objects.

If you could get the yacht back out it would be worth a few bucks in scrap

The question remains.
How the hell did it get there?
My Dad built a 55ft steel yacht many years ago and it weighed 13 ton
So I’d expect there would be quite a few ton in this one.
How did they get it there and how did they get it off the trailer/truck????
Are you sure you have not photoshopped the picture :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
