Formula Boat Fire In Massachusetts Injures Five

A nine meter Formula Sport Cruiser fire with ten persons onboard including of which was a baby and three other children, went ablaze at the fueling station of the Metropolitan Yacht Club, Braintree, Massachusetts on the morning of Saturday twelfth August.  The Formula sport cruiser went ablaze as it was getting set to fill up gas, fire officials reported. Another boater, who is a retired Policeman saved the day from further damage, as he towed the sport cruiser away from the dock.  Five boaters onboard the Formula boat were transported to area hospitals with minor burns, smoke inhalation and cuts.  The boat fire was eventually extinguished by Braintree Police and Braintree Fire Marine Units, although the Formula sport cruiser was a total wreck.
The boat in this fire is a Formula 29 PC as produced between 1988 to 1992.  Designed by John Adams, Formula's designer since 1971 the PC came out as a replacement to the 28 PC, and was replaced by the 31 PC.
