The owners are thrilled. “Project Kraken is a national marine security initiative, a bit like a huge neighbourhood watch on the water, where we work with key stakeholders in the marine community, giving them information and updates about things such as this theft. “They are our eyes on the water and we have a really good relationship with them. We are very interactive with them and make sure that they give us information on anything they see. “As we have seen today, we get good results from it.” Chris Mullins, club owner, who was delighted to be reunited with the boat, added: “We know of boats that have gone missing so for Hampshire Police to find it, especially in a hanger like this, they have done a really good job.”
