Steelkit of Aberystwyth Wales
« on: April 26, 2009, 03:34:19 pm »

Has any forum member out there any info on this yard & where can I obtain plans of the vessels
that they built. The one in question is the "Vantage" built in 2001, but subsequently rebuilt twice
since then & working out of the Netherlands as the "Christina Maria" at the present time.

Dear Nemesis,

To continue the story, he went to prison for some while, but I am led to believe he is out now. I should imagine all paperwork is in the hands of the Official Receiver - or possibly the SFO.

The yard is now used for boat storage only. It is a great pity, as it had existed for many years, and, but for greed, would exist today. I know someone well who worked there as a welder/fitter for 18 years... but he had left some years before the main fraud occured.

Sad end for a business that had good prospects.

Regards, Bernard

Dear Nemesis,

Please it helped in one way, but sorry might not be so helpful in getting what you wanted/needed.

Regards, Bernard

Dear Stavros,

Probably lucky for him that what you said didn't come out pre trial as it might have added six months to his term!

Regards, Bernard
