I think it was RA that set on fire one evening while close to completion, which was accordingly delayed.
Patrick, do you recall one or maybe two others, one maybe built in the Ruscador drydock?

They also had RA II built. The only one of the river boats I caught was "Princesse de Provence" also built by Ruscador in 1992

Thanks Patrick, that's the three then.
