POLICE last night revealed the debris washed up on Hayling Island at the weekend is now considered "unlikely" to be from the missing yacht Ouzo.
Three men died when the vessel went missing in The Solent in August, having left Bembridge on the Isle of Wight heading for Dartmouth.
Police initially said that they thought the wreckage may have been that of the stricken yacht, but last night they seem that was now "unlikely".
The bodies of Londoners James Meaby, 36, Jason Downer, 35, and Rupert Saunders, 36, were found on August 23 and 24.
It's believed the 27ft yacht suffered a catastrophic collision with a larger vessel in the busy shipping waters off the Isle of Wight.
A 61 year-old man remains on police bail pending further inquiries.
