Dear Brian Mac,
Not a lot to add at the moment regarding history of Nemo II, all I know is what Google reveals.
I now live locally, been here about 4 years, used to come to area on hols from West Midlands, and remember seeing the boat then.
Went to Llandanwg on January 11 and took several photos.
Was amazed when I returned a few days later to find boat had gone, just broken bits of timber and a few pieces of metal remained, along with large tyre marks in the sand from either tractor or JCB type of machine.
So glad I have got the pictures now, only found out the history of Nemo from article in Cambrian News, if I had known earlier I would have tried to have raised public awareness to try and preserve her, find it tragic that something with such a history should ultimately be destroyed.
March 5 2011, I have heard locally that the engine was removed, and the remains burnt.............
Despicable, an act of vandalismn and contempt on the part of yacht club.
February 14 2012,
found a few pictures taken in November 2006 which may be of interest....
