Broads authority awarded costs in boat accident case
Two holidaymakers who recklessly sank their hire cruiser after a birthday celebration have been fined and ordered to pay costs to the Broads Authority.
A party of friends from Hertfordshire had reportedly been acting irresponsibly on the Broads all weekend in May 2007, before their luxury cruiser, hired from Richardson's boatyard, in Stalham, came to grief on a bend of the River Bure midway between Acle and Great Yarmouth.
The Gorleston inshore lifeboat was called to rescue the friends, finding them shivering on the bank.
Great Yarmouth Magistrates Court found two men guilty of failing to moor properly and one of them for failing to navigate with care.
The two were fined and ordered to pay a total of £1,000 of costs to the Broads Authority.
