Yacht fire Moreton Bay

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Yacht fire Moreton Bay

Postby xerubus on Mon Apr 17, 2006 11:06 pm

The Koara, a 19mtr pleasure Yacht, caught fire today. The crew noticed smoke and within a few minutes had to abandon ship. With the tender also involved in fire an inflatable raft had to be deployed. Crews from 26 (Redcliffe) and 14 (Sandgate) stations responded and proceeded on a Bribie Island VMR vessel with foam, meeting up with various police vessels. Crews fought the fire in 2 meter high seas for over 3 hours and towed the vessel back to Scarborough marina to be finally extinguished.

Great photos as usual, Mark. The one with the fire close up is my pick.

i had a lot of fun at this incident today... had to jump from a coastguard vessel onto a large police vessel with 2m swells whilst moving and with all the camera gear.... makes you think about your insurance policy :)

cheers

PJ’ing with your usual finesse Mark - a question, surely the yacht is larger than 19 feet :?:
