Stormforce- Missing Yacht.

THE SHIP OF LIFE
by John T. Baker

Along the shore I spy a ship
As she sets out to sea;
She spreads her sails and sniffs the breeze
And slips away from me.

I watch her fading image shrink,
As she moves on and on,
Until at last she's but a speck,
Then someone says, She's gone.

Gone where? Gone only from our sight
And from our farewell cries;
That ship will somewhere reappear
To other eager eyes.

Beyond the dim horizon's rim
Resound the welcome drums,
And while we're crying, There she goes!
They're shouting, Here she comes!

We're built to cruise for but a while
Upon this trackless sea
Until one day we sail away
Into infinity.

Must have been a catastrophic event for them not to be able to deploy the life raft. Sudden loss of keel and capsize??
So sad and sympathies with their families.

what a terrible tragedy for all concerned.. Stormforce and Doug have always been a brilliant and professional training facility.

Why the charges? The article doesn't say why the land based management have been charged

So Section 100 is about operating an "unsafe ship". We will need to wait and see what evidence they present to a court and see if a court deems that the evidence is sufficient to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the ship was unsafe and that the deaths resulted through gross negligence.

I'm going to refrain from opinion until I see what evidence gets presented.

That would seem to be the best advice all round in this case.

To avoid the possibility of anyone inadvertently finding themselves committing a contempt of court, I'm closing this thread for now.
