hello all

guess you could say this happens when.....
you leave the stove on unattended....
your smoking in bed and fall asleep with a lit cigarette....
you let your kids play with fireworks on the boat....
you forget to shut off the propane for the BBQer, and you turn on the electric
on the boat....
you found someone with waterway rage, and he took it out on you...

seriously though.... it is a real trajady about that boat... no one likes to see that happen, specially to their own boat...

did they ever find out what started it ???

sincerely

Looks Like Plenty Of Time To Move It...

...wonder why they (authorities) didn't? Don't mean to second guess; just seems obvious.

I heard the mortgage papers were stored too close to the insurance policy papers, and spontaneous combustion occurred.

if i had to guess i would bet on it being a bad connection and no fuse in the electrical wiring some where on that boat ei a bad solder joint or a bad crimp connection.....

It actually reminds me of ALL of my boats from the 70's. Except we weren't trying to put it out.

(The parties right here, folks)..

I'm guessing boats are REALLY expensive in the UK, if that one was worth US$8.28 million. I mean before the fire.

I thought at first the houseboat in the foreground was burning. The Kahu was back behind it. Hmmmmmm the boat was for sale?

Are you saying it was Kahu on fire? Still a far cry from 8 million in my world.

It was Kahu on fire. Cannot say much about the owner paying 8 million for that boat to be built. I think much of the pricing with super yachts is the custom features the buyers request. Just looking at it, I would never say 8 million either.
