Man accused of sinking his own yacht

"Felony insurance fraud charges have been filed against a Seattle man accused of sinking his own yacht in a fit of rage brought on by the boat's mechanical problems.

According to court documents, Brian A. Lewis was piloting the Jubilee from Bainbridge Island to Seattle on March 22 when he scuttled the motor yacht halfway through his journey.

As the boat sank, Lewis, 50, rowed a borrowed dingy back to Bainbridge Island."
