A classic eight meter cabin cruiser, had an onboard fire as it was berthed unattended, at the Villa Igiea marina, in Palermo, Sicily at about 08:30 morning time of Tuesday 21 January. Marina personnel tended to the fire first, who towed the boat in a secure area out of harming other vessels, and controlled and turned off the blaze. The marina personnel did such a good job that when the Fire fighting Vigili dell Fuoco squad arrived, they just had to secure the vessel. The full operation took an hour as it was concluded by 09:30. An investigation has been opened to determine the cause of the fire.
The boat in this sinking is a classic wooden build Chris Craft Catalina 28 as produced in the seventies with modified super structure, and cabin windows.
