5.3.3 Vessel details Over three-quarters of recreational vessels involved in ‘serious incidents’ were mechanically powered (77%, n=127), 20% were powered by sail (n=33) and 2% were human powered (n=3). The vessel type was not given for 2 incidents. Figure 6 shows the specific type of vessel involved in the ‘serious incidents’. More than one-quarter of ‘serious incidents’ involved open boats (26%), followed by full cabin cruisers (22%), half cabin cruisers (19%), yachts – keel boats (12%) and PWC (8%).
