The store associated with Drum is a wild one. Drum is a maxi-yacht. Arnold Clark Automobiles owns Drum, and he once co-owned it with Simon Le Bon, the lead singer of the band Duran Duran. Le Bon competed in the 1985 Fastnet Race, but he didn’t finish, as, despite being one of the favorites, it lost its keel.

Drum’s builder didn’t heat-treat the structure that holds the keel to the yacht, despite the designer specifying it. If you don’t complete this step after welding the aluminum, the structure will fail. And it did, causing Drum to capsize. Luckily, no one was hurt. Unluckily, Drum was uninsured.
