Yup, it's chilling stuff mike. Has been all over the local news last 3 weeks

Hard to fathom. Boat is a unique Garcia, recognisable anywhere, so destination has to be off the beaten track you'd think. Tunisia or Black Sea maybe but you gotta get it there first. . Also if you want to steal a boat why not take from a marina rather than escalate your downside from a theft charge to a kidnap/ piracy/ robbery charge?

Will surely hit corsica's tourism trade

All the big boys in Cannes and Antibes will be shaking in the their boots......:ambivalence:

Not so long ago the Corsicans were burning down tourist holidays homes on the island, they wanted independence from France.

wow... I can't believe it....

well JFM, this may not be hi-tech, but its good re-cycling of your wine bottles and actually a very simple and effective recognised anti piracy method...

I can just imagine you lining up a row of Molotov Cocktails on the flybridge...

Apparently JFM has already been on the case and managed to get some Molotov cocktails fitted with underwater lights, next step is to get them to change colour to music.....
