Traditional Gozzo Cruiser Wrecked by Fire in Empuriabrava

A not attended traditional style Gozzo cruiser of thirteen meters in length went ablaze at Empuriabrava in the North East of Spain, on the evening of Thursday fourth June.  Salvamento Maritimo responded to the blaze with the Lyra lifeguard vessel, and first removed all shore power connection and extinguished the blaze, saving the boat from sinking.  The cause of the blaze is not reported with no injuries being reported from the fire.

The boat in this fire is an Apreamare 45 Comfort as designed by Spadolini and produced from 2004 to 2010.  The 45 Comfort was a hard-top version of the 12 Cabinato, and was replaced by the Apreamare 44.
