The M/Y Garcia has been taken by armed criminals off the Corsican coast, the crew dumped into the liferaft. The crew are shaken but alive and unhurt.

After looking at pictures of the yacht, sympathies go to the hijackers..... are there no Specsavers in Corsica!

That is one of the worst monstrosities I have ever seen. You know there has to be a set of wheels under the hull so the motorboat/sailing boat/trawler can also go off-road. - It's like the car Homer Simpson designed.

It isnt a 'looker' is it?

Far from pleasant being hijacked like that - at least the crew are safe - but what the hell are the hijackers going to do with it?

What ever they do it will be slowly.

I'm a bit confused???

I'd call it an awful looking boat, but the forum post calls it a trawler, a yacht and a powerboat so what is it apart from a st looking boat?

It's French.

In a 2CV/Renault 4 kind of way.

Paint it in yellow and it looks like Peppa Pig's campervan....
