UK sailing yacht Tabitha sunk

[Roberto]

In case anyone knows them, it happened this morning, the three crew have been rescued, though the yacht has sunk despite the attempt to tow it.
Hull flooded for unclear reason

Not a good way to start a new year , but it's great to see all three are ok .
You can alway get another boat but not another life .

btw, it seems more a trawler than a sailboat

Slack French reporting?. The mast looks like a mizzen but where is the main mast? Still a converted trawler is unpleasant to drown in so Im glad they got out in time

The article first says it is a sailboat (voilier) but later refers a motorboat (védette)
Anyway, glad they are safe.
