Sometimes it gets hot: Two fire fighting operations for SeaHelp in one day

SeaHelp fire fighting operation

There are days when SeaHelp is particularly challenged: First, the Yellow Angels of the Adriatic were called to the region off Rab, where supposedly a motorboat should burn. However, the alleged major fire turned out to be a small smoldering fire in the engine compartment, which the skippers had already cleared with on-board resources. During the inspection of the damage, the emergency services then received the message that a yacht was on fire near Punat. At full speed we went back to the home port, the smoke column in the area of the island of Plavnik was far visible so there was no need of further aids of navigation.

At the danish border: Seahelp separates wedged sport boats

In front of the “Ochseninseln” on Danish territory, a skerry cruiser collided with a motor yacht. The pointed bow of the agile sailor drilled through the outer skin in the anchor box of the yacht and wedged with the bow flap so hard that it had to be cut free.
