A charity’s been left counting the cost of a vandalism attack on a boat it was to use for scientific research.
The Manx Whale and Dolphin Watch organisation says an orange rib in the boat yard on East Quay in Peel was attacked in early April.
The boat was deliberately damaged with a knife, and may be damaged beyond repair before it could be used for the first time this summer.
If you have any information on those responsible you can contact Peel Police Station on 842208.
Tom Felce of the Manx Whale and Dolphin Watch says it’s a devastating blow:
