If the restorers need any help rebuilding it, Adrian has assembled a Cutty Sark before…
An absolute tragedy. I remember going on a school trip in the mid 1970’s to see this magnificent ship. At the time Gypsy Moth IV was moored nearby. It made a great impression on me, and I subsequently built an airfix model of the Cutty Sark.
It sounds like it will be possible to salvage and rebuild, but it must heart-breaking for those involved in the restoration project to be set back like this.

£25m restoration - wouldn’t it be cheaper just to bulid a new one.

Maybe the new one could have a posher engine. The “fastest clipper” claim has started to get a little embarrassing these last 100 years.

You know something has really made an impression when it inspires you to make an airfix model of it.
