http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/highlands_and_islands/8161106.stmThe vessel is the Aquila BA379 which was owned by a Maryport , Cumbria , skipper who was sadly lost in this accident.
The men who have been lost are
Skipper Tony Hayton , 45
Crewman Thomas Sanderson , 52
Crewman Peter Hilton , 52
From the TV reports by the 2 men who alerted the Coastguard the boat was fishing 1.5nm off the land and was hit by a wave which led to her capsize. The hull is still afloat upside down and the Coastguard tug Anglian Sovereign is standing by her. I guess they will need divers to cut away the wires to the gear before towing her into Mallaig so she can be righted and the investigation into this tragedy can begin.
I have set up an online condolence book for the men who have been lost once that has gone live I will post the url here
Yet again the true cost of fish , or in this case prime Scallops , the sea is a cruel mistress
