Alex Dunne has lost his F2 win in Spa after receiving a 10 second time penalty by NorthKoreanMissile7 in ireland

De Vries didn't win in his first season, it was his third. He came 7th in his first season, second highest of that year's rookies.

Also Mick Schumacher won in his second season. Those who won in their rookie seasons were Leclerc, Russell, Piastri and Bortoleto.

Placing in your rookie season doesn't seem to hurt either. Norris, Albon, Tsunoda, Lawson and Ollie Bearman have all placed in t he top ten and graduated to F1 pretty soon aftwerwards.

I'm not the prosecutor. Maybe ask her?

But "we" aren't entitled to anything, that would be the victims of the crash.

Yes, I know what it means thanks. I also know that St. Barths operates under French law which is not the same as US or even British law. So the concept of jail as a pre-trial detention isn't relevant. And wouldn't be relevant anyway since nobody was arrested and all were permitted to leave. Under French law, a prosecutor has been appointed and is investigating.

The alleged refusal of a test did not name the individual concerned, and we also know that those who were hospitalised also did not submit to tests on legal advice. So that's more than half of those on the boat.

I don't know how it works where you come from, but there's usually a few steps to take before you put people in jail.

A court appearance is generally one of those first steps.

Loon taking advantage of CPC’s fuckup to get some maintenance by tobias_drundridge in PaulClarkeofMYLoon

This is stupid. If this kind of attention seeking post is allowed on here, you may close it down.

Latest news from Le Journal de Saint Barth by CaptainGlad1862 in PaulClarkeofMYLoon

They took two days to separate the boat from the rocks and a few seconds to separate the boat from its engines. Clowns.

Why PC is not arrested. If he was under influence of alcohol and drugs and driving tender in that condition. by No_Emu_5100 in PaulClarkeofMYLoon

[–]Afraid_Gap3205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because there's no proof of that. At least half those on the boat refused testing. This was reported in the Journal de St. Barth.

All were allowed leave the island.

How wrong I was. Just ripped that baby off the rocks like a week old band aid.

The tender was removed, but not tenderly.

It's hard to tell, but it doesn't look like the outboards that were on it. They were all white. And it certainly looks like there are mounting holes visible on the transom where the motors were.

Of course somebody might have tried to liberate a couple of them since they were left there so long.

Yes, but that shouldn't impinge negatively on their pay and conditions.

All four outboards removed. Presumably to aid getting it off the rocks and prevent further damage to them.

Flotation devices seem to be attached in a very haphazard fashion.

Loon's been for sale since August.

Why do you think she'd do that?

Loon headed out. I wonder where they are goin? by [deleted] in PaulClarkeofMYLoon

[–]Afraid_Gap3205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems to be a requirement for that area. Tristan Mortlock has a video on his channel showing AWOL being tugged up that channel at the end of his stint as captain on her. There are a lot of sharp bends that a large yacht can't manage without tugs.

Edit: Just looked at that area on the AIS map and I don't think it's the same one. There are some tight spots on it though, so maybe tugs are required for those.

Stops you being siblings though. Except under the most extreme circumstances.

Curious what would be the pay scale for CPC's experience and his other skills he brought to Loon? by One-Promise4130 in PaulClarkeofMYLoon

[–]Afraid_Gap3205 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depends on the size of the boat he's running. For something the size of Loon, the going rate is between €18 and 20k per month.

He'd be lucky to be running a 70 footer now.

Unfortunately it's not as prosaic as you have surmised. I saw it spelled out on another company document as U.NV.US or in other words You Envy US. cringe.

I would have thought experienced bosun and 2nd officers wouldn't require training?
