Small catastrophe: boat falls from crane

17-06-2007, Deauville (Ko Stroo)

 

After the Deauville international week a small catastrophe struck Team Triple P. While lifting the boat back on the trailer the lifting strop broke, and the boat fell down about a meter onto the trailer. Luckily nobody was seriously injured, and the damage was comparatively small because the boat landed in the trailer.

 

The trailer was seriously damaged, the keel and mast also have some damage. At the moment the mast is in the Netherlands for further inspection, the boat remains in Deauville until we find suitable transport.
