Regal Cruiser Partly Sinks After Fire Saved in British Columbia

A twelve meter Regal sport cruiser with three persons onboard partly sank in Mcneill Bay, near Oak Bay, British Columbia, Canada at 13:30 of Friday seventeen May.  The Joint Rescue Coordination Centre was alerted of the twelve meter sport cruiser, that had an onboard fire in McNeil Bay, but when the Canadian Coast Guard arrived in ten minutes to the scene with the fast response craft, they found the fire extinguished with the boat now taking on water and sinking.  The Coast Guard first rescued and removed the three boaters from the sport cruiser and then towed and beached the vessel on the beach of McNeil Bay in order to avoid it from sinking.  Later in the evening a crane was brought in removing the boat from the beach.  None of the three boaters was injured, with the cause of the fire and then sinking not being reported.

The Regal in this fire is a 4260 Commodore as produced from 2002 to 2005.  The 4260 Commodore came out as a replacement to the 4160 Commodore with the addition of a T-top forward looking radar arch, and then replaced by the 4460 Commodore which featured a fuller T-top and a longer extended bathing platform.
