Yachtsman found dead off the Nab.

Local news here. Anyone know of a boat overdue?

 

[KevB]

Oh dear. As no one is reported missing I'd imagine there is a yacht somewhere in the channel with no one on board. He must have been single handed.

More info from the BBC

I wonder what happened. Run down in the shipping lane?

 

[Wiggo]

Why would they have been mid-Channel in a shipping lane going from Bembridge to Dartmouth?

 

[KevB]

True. misguided reporting?

 

[BrendanS]

they are discussing it over in scuttlebutt

They know who it is and next of kin is informed, they also know what boat it was.

Latest news as of today is that the yacht and other two crew are missing. Possible mid channel collision. Doesn't sound hopeful /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
