Report Content

As reported by CSSN.

DATE: 2019-07-28 03:00
Country Name: Martinique
Location Detail: St. Pierre
EVENT: Theft
HAND: 1
Stolen Items: 12’ West marine inflatable dinghy and 30hp Yamaha Outboard including safety gear, cooler, depth sounder, shoes etc. in the dinghy.
SECURED: Locked

DETAILS: 

While monohull owners slept onboard in their forward cabin, thieves stole the lifted and locked-to-the-yacht dinghy from its davits at the stern.

The thieves arrived prepared with bolt cutters and knives and defeated both the stainless steel locks, that had exposed hasps/shackles (for the outboard to the dinghy, and the dinghy to the yacht). They cut numerous retaining lines, and the davit lines, but were unable to cut the Dyneema bridle/harness.

Apparently, the thieves misjudged the weight of the 30HP outboard and it, as well as the small rowboat type dinghy they had used, were found the next day underwater, sunk to the bottom below the yacht. Both were retrieved.

The RIB dinghy had been set adrift, and was found 8 miles offshore by another yacht, and returned to the owners. All of the items in the dinghy were untouched.

A police report was made, and the coast guard notified.
