| T4 | 2020 | Destroyed | Very sadly T4 is seriously damaged during storm Ciara in February when a yacht broke free from her moorings and collided. The damage was sufficient for the insurance company to write her off and she was broken up in July. An AOA Member managed to retrieve a lot of the fittings for other boats. | ||||||
