I write in the hope that someone can help me recover my 2.5m YAM250T grey inflatable dinghy and Yamaha 2.5hp four-stroke outboard engine stolen from the launch area of Ġnejna Bay last Thursday.

I am living aboard my boat from bay to bay dictated by weather conditions and cannot get from boat to shore, or back, without a dinghy.

This theft creates great difficulties for me. I thank the fishermen and other boat users who have already assisted me, but I desire to be independent.

The dinghy has non-matching paddles and is marked T/T APATAKI. The manufacturer’s plaque on the inside of the transom is missing.

If anyone has any information which may lead to the recovery of the dinghy, or is able to offer use of a rigid or inflatable dinghy please contact me on 7991-3726, or report to Mosta Police on 2141-4106.
