Cabin Fever report shows breaches of regulations

AN investigation into the grounding on Tory Island of the wooden schooner used in the RTÉ reality game show, Cabin Fever, found clear breaches of marine regulations.

Contestants suffered from fatigue during watch keeping duties off the Donegal coast while the command structure on board was not clear to the crew, a marine casualty report suggested.

In one particular breach, one of the male contestants was allowed to remain on board to retrieve personal belongings which led to him being dragged under water as he later attempted to swim ashore.
