Looks like a Sealine to me

No one harmed which is the main thing. Thankfully it didn't happen at sea.

Could be a sealine 390/410 looking at the hull and window aft starboard side . Has stripes so not an. f43

 

[Mr Googler]

The report update thinks the start of the fire relates to the tender.

Such a shame. Now sunk. The harbour dries out which will help recovery I guess.

There was this one a couple of weeks ago, looks like a Hardy

UPDATE @ 14:42 – It has been confirmed that the vessel is a 32ft motor cruiser and that the alarm was raised via VHF Channel 16 – the emergency Chanel for mariners.

Emergency Chanel? - my wife will definitely expect our boat to have one of those from now on.

The recovery operation for the wreckage of that one was due to start today:

It was me who alerted the coastguard on VHF. The boat was a 40ft Sealine.

Where you in the harbour colhel?

We were Just coming in the entrance (first time visit) when I spotted flames. As I was trying to contact the Harbour Master I changed to 16 and raised the alarm to the coastguard. I could see the engine was running so knew there was a big possibility someone was on board. I got as close as I thought safe and shouted and saw someone come up from down below and 2 children climb through the fore hatch. The speed the fire then took hold was astonishing. The boat was at the Northern end of the East pontoon, we are now on the Southern end near close to pedestrian entrance.

YBW reporting a 30' Sunseeker?

 

[Mr Googler]

Well done for acting so quickly and thank goodness no one was hurt.

 

[Mr Googler]

Every boat incident report starts out as a sunseeker!!

 

[colhel]

I was told by the owner It was a 40ft Sealine.

 

[Whitelighter]

I agree with VP - looks like a 390/410 Sealine.

I just took these photos

Actually it might be a 360 as I think where the window should be is intact.
Regardless, a scary event especially as it seems kids were on board

 

[neale]

I think the boat might be a Sealine 400 Ambassader

 

[Mr Googler]

On one of your pictures, it looks like the bilge pump is still going!!

Did the owner say what happened?

 

[colhel]

There was a generator in the tender and it looked as if the fire was centred around it.

 

[Mr Googler]

blimey!!
