Yachtsmen leave despite pleas of Tourism Minister

SUN Weekend: "Yachtsmen in Antigua are beating a hasty retreat to what they believe are safer harbours, following the murder of a member of the yachting community.

Australian Drew Gollan, the captain of the Perseus, a Perini Navi luxury sailing yacht, was shot and killed on Thursday night (22 Jan.) during an attempted robbery.

Gollan’s yacht was moored at the Antigua Yacht Club Marina in English Harbour and he was reportedly on his way home after having dinner with his family, when the shooting occurred.

Members of the yachting community in the English Harbour and Nelson’s Dockyard area have been pulling up anchor and leaving Antigua after news broke of the Australian captain’s untimely demise."
