Cabin Fever on the rocks as ship goes down

RTÉ’S latest reality TV show was scuttled yesterday after Cabin Fever I hit the rocks off the Donegal coast.

It would have made great television but there was no camera crew on board the 90-foot schooner when it went aground at low tide on rocks off Tory Island, Co Donegal, and eventually broke up.

The chartered vessel issued a distress call at 1.30pm and the Arranmore Lifeboat and Aer Corps helicopter were launched.
