In the wreckage, one of the gas bottles was at the front of the boat, now these are in a metal locker in the cockpit.... how lucky would it to be.. to explode and then land on the front of the boat???
A person who lives nearby managed to get footage on video cam and he is sending us the vid, can't say its gonna be pleasant but it may shed some light.
I dont understand how a boat can catch fire when all the batterys are isolated, we had turned everything off and removed the little red switches.
Only just spent £800 on a brand new canopy by DB Covers.
Luckily some people had the sense to move my parents boat out of the way, or it could have been a double fire.
At the beginning of this season a boat exploded, nearly killed two people as they had a petrol leak and started the engine to go up river and BOOM.. very lucky people.
Just keep remembering things that were on the boat, like canal plaques that my husband and me collected when we were on honeymoon on your first boat. (staffs and worcs, bratch, and couple of others) and a bell from a friends boat who died last year.
My son woke up in tears remembering his micromachines and his sweets were on board.
