I also know the insurance business. Unless the guy has insurance for war related damage, the insurance company is not going to pay.
As you must know, insurance companies often deny claims which are clearly covered. And what court is going enforce coverage in a situation like this? The guy who caused the yacht to flood could be considered a terrorist. That’s also probably not covered.
The guy who flooded the yacht admitted why he did it. He crossed the line from vandalism to subterfuge.
Consider this. If not for Russia invaded Ukraine, would this guy have flooded the yacht? If the answer is no, it’s an act of war.
The biggest boat I have ever driven was a 42' Footer. I'm quite sure that would go faster than the pictured Russian item.
That would be such a waste of a good tuna tower. That's my story, and I'm sticking with it. Use to watch the T.V. Show Tuna-War's or what ever. I remember only seeing one boat that used a tuna-tower, and had the long walk-out front of the bow to harpoon the Tuna. Plus, they had an eye in the sky, (small aircraft) directing them.
I'm guessing with the advent of drone's, they could replace the eye-in-the-sky. For a fraction of the cost of a fixed wing aircraft & pilot, fuel.
Yeah, forget the boat.
I don't know much about the Tuna fishing up North other than a few stories I've heard. We fish the warm waters of the Gulf Stream off the Keys and mainland FL. I do have a drone aboard that we use for photos. I've tried to use it to find weed (Sargasso) lines. It works to some degree but mostly gets in the way and is a distraction.
