They probably got board when they found out it wouldn't do handbreak turns or burnouts

Its funny how its classified as missing when its borrowed in such a manner... who knows, it could have been a son or daughter.

Christ, if I was a teenager and my dad owned that boat it would be missing every weekend, lol

Back safe and sound.

Did that go aground in Greystones? We were sailing back into Dublin today and heard a radio shout about a boat down that direction. Hope they get their heads knocked together whoever they were!

Stolen at 5.30am, noticed and reported by lunchtime - what's the chances???

Methinks there might be a teeny bit more to this story than is being reported :cool:

At least one of the teens would have had to have prior training. driving something like that with no experience whatsoever would have been very difficult.
especially pulling into Greystones to refuel on the way back from their little trip to Wexford.
what i want to know is where they got the cash to refuel something like that?!

Did they refuel it? Hard to believe they were served fuel without any questions being asked. As far the piloting of the boat, it's not that difficult...

I don't think it was this €200,000 yacht http://www.irishexaminer.com/ireland/teens-take-yacht-for-crazy-joyriding-spree-332869.html

No its not that difficult for someone who has experience. yes apparently they did in Greystones. a friend of mine saw the boat refueling. sure i've never been questioned about refueling and I've been driving boats of all kinds since i got my rib licence at 16.
