YBW at first had it as a Sunseeker, but it was a Fairline. There were people on board, it was reported that a man was seen exiting the boat with children. Thank God no one was hurt.

The boat eventually sank and as Ryde dries out it should make it easy to salvage....possibly!

The BBC reported it as a Sunseeker also, but definitely a Sealine.

Very sad to see, and lucky that no-one was hurt.
