French Yacht brought to safety lifeboat; stolen Bulgarian yacht on the way to Romania
A forty six foot long French yacht was pulled along to safety by the Cowes lifeboat last Sunday after it told via radio that it had engine problems. The man and the woman on board the yacht called Patou, had projected to sail from the East Cowes to Yarmouth but after that, off Gurnard, it altered their plan because of all the strong wind from the west. When they tried to motor back to the Cowes Harbour, it was disclosed that they could not begin their engine.
The lifeboat that launched at 17:55, pulled along the yacht to Trinity Landing. The pair expected to sail to the home port of the boat, St. Malo, once a repair job had been executed.
Meanwhile, Border police clutched a stolen Bulgarian boat from Cape Shabla on the way to Romania. They also detained sixty immigrants who were aboard it from Iraq or Syria. The boat is actually made for 6 people, and it is still a mystery that the boat stayed afloat with sixty passengers and it did not sink.
The yacht in question is a Bulgarian luxury boat that got stolen three days ago in Istanbul, Turkey. The boat was linked to human trafficking. Two Turkish families have hired the yacht as a charter for the tourist firm named Evergreen. The refugees were loaded to Romania, because the yacht was already announced for search in Bulgaria.
