El electric sailboat that remained overturned next to the entrance of the port of Dénia It was removed from the water on Friday morning using a crane.
The operation has aroused considerable interest among media, workers of Marina Dénia and neighborswho have followed the maneuvers to recover the vessel from the breakwater.
Once the boat was recovered, the owner checked its condition and summarized it with a brief "No work"The work is not yet finished: When weather conditions permit, the batteries will be removed from the port of Dénia..
The curious story behind the sailboat
Behind the accident lies a unique story. The sailboat belongs to a Finnish couple who intended to travel about 5.000 kilometers without using fuelpropelling the vessel with electricity generated by solar panels.
The couple had arrived in Dénia and left their sailboat anchored outside the southern breakwater before kayaking to Marina Dénia and spending the night in a hotel. The following day, the boat was found capsized near the harbor entrance. Initially, the possible causes considered were... the waves caused by the passage of a ferry, although it is not known that the origin of the rollover has been definitively determined.
The incident then triggered a major emergency response due to the possibility that people were trapped. Firefighters, Maritime Rescue and Civil Guard They participated in the operation, which included a helicopter and diving personnel. It was ultimately confirmed that no one was inside and that the owner was safe.
With the sailboat now out of the water, one thing remains to be done. the removal of the batteries from the port of Dénia, an operation that will be carried out when time allows.
And the guy without insurance, he drives around with impunity. He says the rules don't apply to him.
Well, now I should pay.
Fine for anchoring in a protected reserve
Fine for abandoning ship
Fine for leaving a kayak in Marina Dénia without permission
Helicopter and rescue expenses
Search diver expenses
Expenses for removing a ship from the sea
Battery removal costs.
Waste disposal costs to a recycling center
And while we're at it, he should stop being so silly.
Will he do it? I'm afraid we'll pay for it all. If some Spaniard from Dénia does it, we'll see how they come down on us and even freeze our bank accounts.
Sorry, but you sound pathetic, all you can do is complain about how unfair the world is to you. Do you really think the wooden boat of some Nordic dude is ruining all our lives now?
a future boat builder myself, and not connected to wood-guy. people like “maximus” are the reason all innovation happens outside Europe and we get the result handed to us. Nobody gives anything because the resistance is massive with people complaining about things that don't even affect them. Dreamers and doers like this young guy and his girlfriend at least try to change something. Your list of “damage” is a joke. sorry. yes, things can and will go wrong, but I haven't seen any inspirational video from you, Maximus, that encourages a generation to get up from their armchairs and try to change something.
If you are aware of all those risks, feel free to build something that covers insurance and avoiding all the risks. why not? at least that would help someone, rather than just complain about others. I am 2 generations older and see things moving a certain way and the bashing of younger generations is not justified. we see a lot of enthusiasm among the young ones and I fully encourage that.
Gen X.
