Jeanneau Cruiser Saved from Sinking in Costa Brava Spain

An eight meter Jeanneau sport cruiser with three persons and two dogs onboard was saved from sinking near Costa Brava to the West of Spain at 14:35 of Sunday eighteen June 2023.  The boaters called Salvamentos Maritimos for assistance, who then asked for the fast help of SeaHelp, which has started to operate a rib in the area.  In the meantime the boaters were assisted by a nearby boater who took two of the boaters and the dogs, with the SeaHelp rib then towing the sport cruiser to a safe harbour.  The boaters were then later assisted by the Mossos D'Esquarda Policia and then Salvamento Maritimos who arrived at the scene. 
The boat in this accident is a Jeanneau Leader 805 as designed by Garroni and produced from 1999 to 2009 in 1300 units.  The Leader 805 was a replacement to the Leader 800 and was replaced by the Jeanneau Leader 8.
