Lagoon 55 catches fire

[DownWest]

Wednesday, a new Lagoon 55 caught fire on delivery from Sables d'Olonne. The crew tried to put it out, failed and took to the tender. Local rescue services SNSM picked them up and another Customs boat tackled the fire. Not successful and it sunk off La Couard sur Mer. The three crew were Croatian, so I assume it was going there. Apparently the cause was electric. Boat was named as Liliana X.

look on the bright side, at least its bulkheads did not fail!
