Simplified Wreck Survey

The Juvenile Delinquent is a sunken racing yacht located off the coast of Portland and Weymouth near Dorset, England, at coordinates 50 36.737 N, 2 23.975 W. Sunk on July 6, 2008, the vessel was fully rigged with all sails up at the time of the incident, which likely caused it to shift with the tide. During subsequent surveys in November 2008, the wreck was not located within a 50-meter radius of its charted position and remains classified as a non-dangerous wreck with a position approximate status.
