He is believed to have been possibly heading to Dieppe in France on the boat and is equipped with safety equipment and a full tank of fuel. Broadcast messages will be made across the area where David was known to be going and vessels are asked to look out for a blue-coloured Zapcat.

He has a Scottish accent, is around 5’ 9” and of very thin build. Anyone with information should call HM Coastguard on 02392 552100.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
