Is it Wise/ Safe to even consider getting someone to Tow such a vessel across the Irish sea,given all the problems you've had to date and that the weather window is diminishing?

Shane,if it goes pear-shaped again it might be better to sell Portisham to the Royal Navy for gunnery practice( having saved the ships bell as a memento/paper weight). :)

Given the current Irish sea state according to www.met.ie,that would be foolhardy. :shock:
