    It appears that the new yacht "Kanga" built by CCN Yachts and delivered only this year has met a terrible fate. The yacht was off an island in Croatia not far from the famed Dubrovnik coast when it caught fire and is now a total loss. The below video is horrible but it serves just to give you an idea. How does such a brand new yacht is loss to fire?

    It will be interesting to see if they can repost the cause of the fire.

    Fighting fires like this must be difficult. On the plus side you have good high powered pumps from an unlimited water source to put it out but in doing so, you can easily flood the yacht and sink it as the bilge pumps are probably disabled at this point.
