Desperate. I hope all ok physically?

Oh no. I hope all ok.

Will be interesting to know what happened.

Probably not a bellows unless something pretty negligent happened.

Do sterndrives (bellows) sink boats?

 

[bluetooth]

Oh my.
Hope crew are safe

Must have hit below waterline something constructed of metal,Fenders deployed maybe for alongside assistance.

Looks like it’s on a swing mooring or was it anchored?

Looks like heading south from Dorset Lake or maybe top end of Brownsea Eastward.
Truly awful.
Lifeboat took crew ashore to Parkstone according to local paper.

Saw this yesterday evening, going from Parkstone Bay to Pottery pier for the evening. Very sad.

One of the comments on the article claims the hull was holed. Bit of filler and gel coat should see it ok.

Dramatic moment a £150,000 42ft yacht SINKS in the sea off Sandbanks and couple are rescued by lifeboat after the vessel was swamped by water

This is the dramatic moment a £150,000 yacht sinks in the sea off Sandbanks, sparking lifeboat crews into action to rescue a couple after the vessel became swamped by water.

The owners were taking the 42ft Fairline motor cruiser called Harley towards a yacht club when it started taking on water in Poole Harbour, Dorset.

The couple had to abandon ship as the luxury vessel started to sink and were dramatically rescued by the Poole RNLI lifeboat which took them to the safety of Parkstone Yacht Club.

Such a pity, she used to be a nice boat
This is/was the boat which struck Weymouth town bridge last year around this time! (Videos of it went viral).
Before that incident, the owner also managed to fill his domestic water tank with diesel!
