A 63 year old boater was injured as an eight meter sport cruiser exploded and then went ablaze near the fuel station of Spinnaker Marina, Sandstone Point, Queensland, Australia at around 10:30 morning time of Sunday thirtieth July. The boater was trying to turn on the engine after he was towed near a fuelling station, when the boat exploded and then went ablaze. With the explosion one of the two boaters was grievously injured, first treated by paramedics on the spot and then rushed to Royal Brisbane and Women's hospital. Nearby boaters and marina personnel tended to the boat fire first with water pipes, with the Fire Fighting squad taking over the fight and managing to control it, and not allowing this to affect the nearby fuel station. This boat involved in this fire was reported purchased about three weeks ago, with this being the first day out with the sport cruiser for the injured boater.
The sport cruiser in this fire is a Brisbane from Australia build Haines Signature 850 SB as produced from 1989 to 1995. Haines Signature was founded in 1959 and today builds eight models from five to six meters in length. The 850 SB has been Haines biggest build to date.
