Dismasted in rough weather off the west coast
of New Zealand in October 2011 and then
abandoned, this yacht finally washed ashore at Brunswick Heads 14 March 2012.
Only a few
goose-neck barnacles were on the hull but the trailing lines had clumps of
large Lepas
spp.
Large goose-neck Barnacles (Lepas anserifera and Lepas
anatifera) growing
on ropes hanging overboard
