‘Big bill’ likely for boat repairs

Some boat owners whose vessels were extensively damaged during the passage of Hurricane Beryl are hoping that Government throws them a financial lifeline.

They may know as early as today what assistance would be forthcoming, as reports indicate that the boats’ wreckage was high on the agenda when Cabinet met yesterday and Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley could issue a public report on its decision later this morning.

Boat owner Winston Legall said the repairs to his boat were between $40 000 and $50 000.
