It wasn't an F34 out of Gosport by any chance was it?

Why can't you just post them as image links here without getting people to go to your site?

Nice bit of "free advertising", new user and cross posting on 3 forums - Try reading the terms and conditions. - Negative advertising IMHO - suprised Richard Shead or Dan have not pulled the blatant advertising posts yet.

Story here: Boat fire on Atlantic coast

It ended well in the end with no injuries thank God, and a family confindent enough to get back on the water very quickly with a replacement vessel.

Any idea what caused the fire yet ?

 

[Commodore]

Too soon to speculate what caused the fire.
The MAIB will do a full investigation as to what caused the fire and that report will be published in due course. We know the boat was a diesel engined boat and the gas cylinder did explode but that was an hour into the blaze. Smoke was a real problem for the crew, even though they were on deck. That is all we know at this stage.
We intend to publish a copy of the MAIB report and maybe learn some lessons from the events and pass those lessons on to interested parties.
