Please see attached files with clearly identifiable (multiple) blade scrapes along the length of Tiger Lily's hull, moored at The Plough (still without an engine, this boat has not moved). As outlined previously, this vessel had a full out of water professional
repaint last year and has had the hull blacking touched up this year whilst in dry dock.</div>

It is not likely to be the race participants during that time period, as I was either present or marshals were present on that stretch of river, but will review all CCTV to be sure of those involved in the damage.</div>

Someone mentioned to me that this is akin to 'Criminal Damage'. As an analogy, it is like someone wandering down the street 'keying' the paintwork of cars - I'm sure if that was your car you would be very indignant indeed !</div>
