The yacht was unmarked, 6 metres (20ft) long

That's a pretty small "yacht"!

I guess they're getting smaller.

When I sailed back from England in a 36' sailboat, we met a crowd of people who were in a single handed race from England to the Carribean. You had to be single handed and your boat had to be 21 feet or under. The record for the crossing is 6 feet, and yes it has been done on a sailboard.

When does it go to auction on eBay?

Sell for more, or less, with it's grisly history?

"The yacht was unmarked, 6 metres (20ft) long".

From the photo in the next post, that boat looks to be over 35 feet in length.
