Legacy on the Hard

After all that time out there her coat still looks pretty nice. Very nice bow.

Hi,

I would say the anchors and chains were removed a longtime before salvage began to reduce the weight.

It is tied up Stbd side to the Salvage Vessel which is probably why there is a line clearly see coming out of the Stbd Fwd Fairlead and leading to Stbd.

I would therefore also say it doesn't need and anchor whilst moored to another vessel or stationary object.

I watched Legacy race. Pretty terrible to see that happen. Does anyone know if any work has begun on her yet?

wes69hunt · 05-19-2008, 09:10 PM

The Nantucket Bucket race. The original Bucket Regatta. I have years of photos from the races, but no scanner at the moment.

What's happening with Legacy? How did the inspection go? Is she on her way to Italy for repairs yet?

Legacy was still setting anchored in the harbour as of 2 weeks ago when I was last out, with gas prices being what they are, i havn't been out as much.
anyways, I didn't get to talk th Mr Helmos, I think I woke him up.
I plan to try again, possibly Capt Tom will arrange another interview or something.
I think He's doing some research into where best to take her. The salvage tug and crew have left, but I believe Legacy can go under her own power. I do remember that Mr Helmos is now a member of the 10 ton club when it comes to anchoring so I guess he's learned that lesson the hard way.
He may still be dealing with the insurance companys as well. The salvage site needs to be cleaned up as well.

I was in the Keys last weekend and caught these pictures of S/Y Legacy. According to the locals, M/Y Legacy is currently undergoing a survey prior to being towed to Miami for loading onto a barge then to be returned to the Perini shipyards in Italy for refitting.

Mr. Ryan,

Unfortunately your editing of the previous post didn't affect the email version which I recieved. As you say, heresay and gossip...............

I do apologize no malice was intended. After further review of this thread, I found nothing in my post that was not already said in previous posts of this thread.

Can't wait to see her refitted. I'm also on Nantucket waiting to see which yachts are going to show up in the harbor this summer.

Update on Legacy---
Had an e-mail from the owner a few weeks ago. Says the main engines have been restarted successfully. Bilge pumps working, AC is back on, generators running as well. He wants the yacht to be navigable before it is towed to Miami, just in case there's a problem. Was told it would be on it's way to Miami in early July, and hauled there for an inspection. It's presumed (at least that was planned a while ago) that it will be shipped back to Perini Navi for refurbishment, but that has not been firmed up.
Will try to get more in the coming weeks.
