A man has died after he was crushed by the half-ton yacht he was working on in a Weymouth boatyard, as Mail Online reports.
The 56-year-old, believed to be a company director, was carrying out repairs on his 29ft sailing yacht yesterday (Monday 16 April) in advance of the summer sailing season when the boat suddenly fell over.
“The man in question was a full member of the sailing club and he joined last summer,” Weymouth Sailing Club Commodore Euan McNair said in a statement. “He was coming up to a year of membership and it’s tragic what has now happened.”
The incident occurred at a time when many boats are being worked on and lifted back into the water around Britain and Ireland ahead of the summer season.
