Just having a scan through the daily mail website (don't judge)... It's astounding to see the amount of SIBS sitting in yards going to waste, I wonder if they will eventually be auctioned off?
It is quite sobering when you see them all, the amount of people willing to risk it all - the lives of them, their wives and kids for a better life.

Last I heard was some would be donated to Sea scouts and other such organisations. Would be a little embarrassing for them should they auction them off only to find them arriving on the beaches again 3 months later

Hahaha yes a very good point! People traffickers keen to bag a bargain at the govt auctions!

I can understand not auctioning the boats off to anyone, but there may be some decent engines.. even a few Tohatsu 9.8 2S units
Very accurate I assume - in that photo I sent it will be along the lines of “25 inflatable dinghies [emoji23]”
I did read that a lot of them are being kept to be used in evidence against people traffickers but I’m unsure how true that is. I can’t imagine there’s much of a chain of evidence there!

I remember last year a dinghy came ashore at Dungerness I think it was, nobody about, its a bit of a wilderness there.
A local guy saw them and helped himself to the outboard, police made him bring it back.
There is always someone watching you
