As it happened i was staying aboard Azure last night and went topside for a p just after 1am to see this just down from me in the Lane Cove River.
This was 1.04am, the first police boat had just arrived

1.08am

1.12am

Within 10mins there was a huge plume of smoke as the fire took hold.
It blazed for over 45mins before there was any semblance of control, and then took several hours more to put out.
I understand the cat was over 60ft.
Sad loss for the owner I'm sure.

Didn't make the news. No cameraman out at that time.

Hopefully no one was hurt (doesnt sound like anyone was on it). Any ideas on what started the fire?
