Three Boaters Saved from Boat Fire in Peschici Italy

Three Croatian boaters were saved as an eleven meter sport cruiser went ablaze offshore to Foce Vargano, Peschici, Gargano park, on the Italian Adriatic sea at about 18:00 hours of Wednesday fourth September.   The boaters jumped in the water and were assisted by the m/v Onda of the Navi Tremiti line sailors, who took the three people onboard and then transported them to the Vieste harbour.  Once in Vieste the boaters were given a medical check by the 118 emergency personnel.  The sport cruiser is reported to have sunk after the fire, with the cause of the fire reported to start from a short circuit with the Port Captaincy of Rodi investigating the accident.  

The boat in this fire is a Gagliotta Camaro Tris 12 metri as designed by its builder and produced from the mid eighties to the nineties.  The Camaro Tris was called this way for being powered by a triple Volvo diesel and stern drive set up, with the model replacing the wood build SG 12, and then replaced by the Gagliotta Camaro 43.
