The Case of the Wayward Whaler
Richmond Yacht Club reports that a Boston Whaler and its trailer were taken by vehicle from the dry boat storage yard over the weekend, sometime between Friday evening and Sunday evening.
“We are asking the greater boating community to be on the lookout for our Whaler,” writes RYC’s general manager, Stan Korich.

Stealers will steal! Maybe keep the yard locked at all times. Those who need legal access will have a key.
Why take chances?
The yard IS locked at all times. Isn’t that nuts?
I would start looking on Craigslist and other sites .the engine and trailer are most likely sold already and the Boston whaler tossed .
