Barcelona Port Vell yacht fire sinking four luxury yachts

It sucks to be Rich.

We have stayed in the marinas of Barcelona.  What you have to remember is some of us live full time on our boats, so a fire is a serious thing.  It's just like losing your home.  You lose your home, your clothing (sometimes your family pet) so a fire is a life changing thing, I doubt anyone would start one of purpose.  The boats are also moored so closely, as you saw, many go up in flames with the original boat.  Insurance is a great thing to have, but it takes many months for the claim to go through.  In the mean time, you are homeless.  I doubt anyone would do this on purpose.

they probably made money off that fire

poor guys cant own yachts like that :P

fires like this in difficult economic times are suspicious...unfortunately inocent folks take damage too

insurance is a wonderful thing
