The boom that broke off at the end of August of a classic sailing ship near Terschelling had become weak due to wood rot. This is the conclusion of the Dutch Safety Board (OVV). 12-year-old Tara from The Hague was killed in the incident. Skippers are called upon to check their classic sailing ships extra carefully for wood rot. Previously, many people died in the Netherlands after they were hit by a mast that was affected by wood rot, our colleagues from AD.nl report.
