Bleedin' nora. Thank goodness it wasn't a residential boat - or, if it was, the resident(s) got out quickly.

This is the boat that caught fire, when I saw the photo I thought it was another

Looks like a cruiser probably a Dolphin or at least one with a wooden top. Big blaze for an unattended boat!

Fibreglass is quite a wonderful material for boats. No rust or rot,light and durable.

Fibreglass takes a bit of lighting,but when it does catch light,it really does burn fiercely,and produces highly toxic smoke and fumes.

All grp boat owners should be aware it's flammability.

Some years ago I was in the States,and travelled many miles in Pontiac buses which had fibreglass bodies,and to quote one of their drivers; "lovely vehicles,but they sure do burn easily"
