Fire destroys two €100,000 yachts

TWO valuable boats were destroyed and hundreds were saved after fire ripped through part of one of the country’s biggest boat yards at the weekend.

A 35-foot racing yacht and the 35-foot cruiser, Dignity, which were in dry storage at Crosshaven Boatyard in Co Cork, were destroyed in the blaze in the early hours of Saturday morning.

The vessels, which are owned by locals, are worth about €100,000 each.
