I assume the references to an A4 is in regards to the C&C 30, not the 50-footer.

A couple years ago one of our local marine mechanics set fire to a boat a 
friend of mine owns ... the result of not ensuring a propane torch was properly 
shut off when not in use. Not an A4. No explosion but $$$ of damage done.

Just wondered if it was an A4. No offense intended to A4 owners...

  A boater escaped unharmed after his 50-foot sailboat caught fire on Lake Erie 
on Thursday night.

  The sailboat was about 3.5 kilometres away from the Canada/U.S. border when 
the operator detected smoke coming from inside the vessel. He was unsuccessful 
in attempts to extinguish the fire. The man, a 50-year-old Erie, Pennsylvania 
resident, escaped by making his way to a 10-foot Zodiac attached to the 
sailboat.

  A passing boater provided assistance to the man.

  The Norfolk County OPP Marine Unit was on patrol on Lake Erie when officers 
observed a large plume of smoke east of the Long Point Lighthouse at about 7:42 
p.m. Officers made their way to the area where they located a large boat fire.

  The sailboat filled with water and sunk in about 210 feet of water.

  The American Coast Guard transported the male back to his residence.

  A *50 foot* A4 powered boat would be fairly rare, would it not.

  Okay then, we have a boat on the way to a broker and suffers a fire in the 
middle of the lake with a lone wolf aboard. I can believe it's not the fault of 
having an A4 aboard, it could have been a can of dinghy outboard fuel below....

    Oh, don't start that again,  Kevin! 

    I understood he was taking the boat down to Buffalo to a broker. not sure 
how he ended up over the border in the deepest pool  of the lake. 
    There was nothing below on that boat but a bucket and a handful of pipe 
berths. on second thought, it might have had a head with an actual door, but 
that's it.
    Don't think it's been sailed in 15 years. seems a shame to pollute the lake 
with yet another wreck. I guess Dave Few can add another boat to his map, 
ghosts shipwrecks of Lake Erie

    I was wondering if we would hear from you on that one Bill.

    It would be interesting to hear what the owner had to say about what

    happened.

    Precious little in the news reports.

    He couldn't put the fire out, escaped in the Zodiac, and the coast guard

    took him back home. That was about it.
