Thefts from boats in English Harbour has sparked concern among yachties in the bustling south coast community.
More than 70 yachts are currently docked in the area – and several boaters spoke out on an online forum to share details of the recent incidents.
Many others expressed dismay that the popular sailing hub – loved as much for its laidback ambience as its prime weather conditions – was being targeted by criminals.
Two incidents were reported in the early hours of January 31 – one on a catamaran, the other on a monohull vessel. Neither was locked.
