Boat Fire

[ningram]

Looks nasty....
Cruiser Fire

Would that be Fossils Venture as used by Cornish Cruising?

Lovely boat, terrible shame - glad no ones hurt.

 

[hlb]

Oh dear. We were with him on the MBY red diesel campaign in Plymouth.

 

[Shorn100]

Sounds like a lucky escape.

Does anyone know what might have been the cause?

Sad end for a smart boat, but at least nobody hurt.

dv.

 

[Renegade_Master]

nah cant be that one cos she would be coded for charter with Cornish Cruising and that one dont look coded

 

[hlb]

Well, why not try the phone number on the side then. See if he's doing any bookings. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I agree it doesn't look coded (would love to know which surveyor - Mr Light Touch) but it's surely same boat. Same model, name, inside/outside upholstery and it has a banner on the flybridge railings advertising cruises I think

I took the picture, was surprised at the time when he said he was going to do boat charter, we thought he was a private boater. After that saw it (& the owner) at Falmouth many times, didn't seem to go out much. By then the boat was clearly marked that it was for charter.

 

[deborahann]

oh & hope it was moored on the "live aboard" pontoon, that really would give them somthing to complain about instead of the dog peeing on the pontoon (no not on any ropes) Glad all where unhurt, it must have been very shocking.

 

[Renegade_Master]

yes indeed where are the horseshoes and the 1m high rails around the cockpit for starters.

cant see the LR but that could be a stashed valiesse

oh and yes I did see the sign on the fly

 

[Nick_H]

Hmm, shiny new cruiser, charters needed to pay the bills, hadn't been out the harbour much, capital value dropped, then destroyed in fire ??

Seems the crew were lucky to get out unhurt though, so sounds more like a case of plain old bad luck, although stranger things have happened. Glad nobody hurt anyway.

 

[jfm]

Yeah but remember the horseshoes, LRs, even radar reflector, have to be carried but dont have to be on show dangling off the boat's guardrails or whatever. Actually this sealine has (had) a canister LR under that blue aft bench seat, visible on its website. Mine is coded (14pax, Cat2) and you can't see any of these items.

I think you will find it was used for the RYA powerboat courses.

[Renegade_Master]

two big for power boat courses, PB2 is designed fro smaller often single engined craft with no cabins

 

[Renegade_Master]

hows the radar reflector gonna work if its not in view? We have same boat coded with two horse shoes sign written lounted aft on fly with light and floating line.

Cant imagine where we would store such big items on an F37, and keep the lights the right way up so's not to discharge em

same as it'll work if it is in view. If you don't have a radar reflector, you rely on the engines bouncing a signal back, which are also enclosed

 

[hlb]

It was basically used to take folks on day trips round Falmouth harbour and up the river. I used to talk to the guy quite often. It was kept at the visitors town marina.
