I've never seen a tube rip through the rubbing strakes before

Greenpeace, drop that SR off round here, we'll make it into something kinda awesome

No sign of Black Magic . The last time I saw her it was on BBC news earlier this year about Gazprom Murmansk . Perhaps she is in custody or in service with the Russian Border Guards

The Ribs from the AS, including the Black Magic, have been handed over to GP finally and were transferred to a GP warehouse some weeks ago for check up and maybe rebuild.
After sitting nearly two years in Murmansk outside and uncovered, they are in a really bad shape. I was told the engine of the Black Magic might also be damaged.
Maybe I get an update in a few days.

At least nothing was stolen from this rib, as a lot of equipment was taken from the Sunrise.
Fact is, the engine is not turning, it´s stuck.
Besides this, it seems to be a really nice boat.
Hope it will be refitted and I can do a testdrive

As I last saw it, it looked like this:

Thanks for posting the photo. She looks OK. the tubes seem to be in a good condition just need some air, The engine most probably has some frost damage.

Engine overhauled, still some electronic issues from russian winter.
Now living in spain and taken good care of.
Still couldn´t drive her cause of the problems, maybe next time I meet her...

Cheers
