HOLIDAYMAKERS and locals were shocked when a NCK\u00a0Rapier<\/a> crawler crane<\/a> lifting a boat at Watchet marina\u00a0in the UK on Wednesday tilted off its tracks and tipped sideways, causing the boat to drop against railings before crashing back onto its trailer.<\/p>\n

The 12-ton 38-ft luxury Dutch Akerboom motor-cruiser, which had just undergone a refit, had arrived at the dockside on a transporter from Langport.<\/p>\n

It was being lifted into the water at lunchtime when the accident happened, damaging the boat\u2019s hull and propellors and bending the propellor shafts.<\/p>\n

Scores of people lined the harbour railings to watch as frantic efforts were made to right the crane.<\/p>\n

Holidaymakers Clare Adlam and Martin Holehouse, from Bristol, were on the sea wall of the harbour near the lighthouse and stopped to watch the crane lifting the boat.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs it lifted it the boat just turned, tilted and lodged on the railings, pulling the crane about two foot off its tracks.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was panic everywhere, but luckily the railings were there or it looked as if it would have tipped right over,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt took a good half hour to stabilise everything and get the boat back up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marina manager Ian Lambert, who was supervising the launch, said that the accident was a mystery.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe simply don\u2019t know what happened \u2013 the lift was nowhere near the crane\u2019s maximum.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will look into the matter very carefully. To my knowledge nothing like it has happened at this marina before,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The boat\u2019s owner, Kevin Matthews, said the crane was lifting the boat from the transporter when it suddenly tipped over and the boat crashed back on to the trailer.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat happens now is down to the boatyard but there are some extensive repairs to be done,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were planning to take her to the Mediterranean in a couple of months\u2019 time but I can\u2019t see that happening now.<\/p>\n
