NL - Den Helder - 22 meter Catamaran yacht sinking
I think this is usually Willem's speciality, but I didn't want te keep this
from you all. This week the lifeboat from Den Helder "Joke Dijkstra" was called upon top assist a Sunreef 70 motor-yacht which was sinking near the shipping lanes. The Joke Dijkstra was only able to tow her out of the shipping lanes. A salvage company was called upon to try and save her. Which they eventually managed to do. It seems the Sunreef motor catamarans and Den Helder don't get along quite well. A few months earlier the lifeboat had been called upon the assist a sistership of this yacht with rudder problems. More info (in Dutch) and pictures of the rescue: http://www.knrm.nl/30waar_wij_zijn/1...er/06reddingra pporten/?TheArticle=14060 and: http://www.knrm.nl/30waar_wij_zijn/1...oog/06reddingr apporten/?TheArticle=14063 More info on the yacht: http://www.sunreef-yachts.com/launch...34,70-sunreef- power-abuelo.html Enjoy!
