A Bit Hot!

[CX54WEK]

The fuel berth at Burton Waters got a bit hot over the weekend along with an old Freeman and Fairline

Luckily no one was hurt. Both boats are scrap and the fuel berth is shut until further notice so no fuel on the Fossdyke for a while.

Any idea what caused it?

Petrol vapours. He has just filled up with fuel.

A good lesson to the Diesel dodgers :-D

What a shame. I love those little Freemans, but I wouldn't buy a boat that ran on petrol unless it was a tender with an outboard.
Nobody hurt, I hope?

 

[CX54WEK]

No one hurt.

What an absolute shame.

 

[Time Out]

There can't be many little 22/23s left, they are often pictured burning at the fuel dock !

Well I suppose one or two have been....there are quite a few left
