A local lake marina is gone, my Merit 25 used to be here but has moved so it was not lost. ...the blaze destroyed 11 houseboats, two sailboats, a pontoon boat and one speedboat.

That was a nasty fire. Sounds like cause unknown. I haven't seen one like that with so much damage in a long time.

Boats can really burn! Luckily all of them were on docks where nobody was going to get hurt.

I remember a fire not long ago that started on a cruiser when the owners left Christmas lights on and the boat unattended. Something shorted out or overheated and several boats were destroyed.

I got my nearly new mainsail, almost brand spanking new spinnaker, a stove, pop top tent, and some other stuff, from a guy in Canada whose C25 was lost in a marina fire.
