wotu2uk Posted March 28, 2011 Report Posted March 28, 2011 (edited) Condor Vitesse has run into an angling boat off Poole. Really hope it was not one of ours, and that all three ppl on board are OK latest report looks as if it was way over towards Jersey. 28/03/2011 09:30:00 Condor Vitesse is currently involved in a search and rescue operation in the vicinity of the Minquiers following a possible collision with a fishing vessel. Further updates will be issued as more information becomes available. The ship was en route between St Malo and St Helier, Jersey on Monday 28th March 2011.

Hope all are OK? you wouldn't have done as the incident was just North of St Malo (Plateau de Minqueries) and, unfortunately not - see other thread and link Edited March 28, 2011 by duncan Quote
Adam F Posted March 28, 2011 Report Posted March 28, 2011 Thinking back there was alot of French being spoken throughout the afternoon on Ch16 A really sad outcome. I can only guess the fog was a real pea-souper as the Condor makes a hell of a noise even 1/2 a mile off.... did they hear it and make a run for it, but go the wrong way? The Condor doesnt hang around speed wise. Quote
alun j. Posted March 29, 2011 Report Posted March 29, 2011 In the paper today....... Condor collided with a French trawler in foggy conditions; 42 yr old frech fisherman killed. Quote
