Boat fail: Princess hits Richmond Bridge

Princess 67 hits Thames Bridge with hundreds of spectators in this week's Boat Fail

We weren’t able to not have this video as our boat fail of the week. This chap took advantage of having a beautiful boat on a beautiful weekend, but what happened was far from beautiful.

It appears as the Princess 67 made its was along the Thames to Richmond Bridge, it slowed to take the bridge carefully. However going at the same speed as the tide it was ‘dead’ in the water and lost steerage.

With hundreds of people watching from the banks, the helmsman didn’t back away enough and ended up pinned against the bridge.
