Z.700 Rapke Sinks

The 16.8 meter 33 ton fishing vessel Z.700 Rapke was reported sunk on the Thornton Bank off the Belgian coast.  The Z.700 Rapke was off the C-Power wind farm when it capsized for some unknown reason.  When the Z.700 Rapke capsized, the weather was good and the seas calm.  The 3 crewmen on board were able to scramble on to the safety net.   The crew were later rescued and returned to Bruges, Belguim.    An investigation into the incident is being conducted.
