A tradition sixteen meter Menorquin yacht crashed into a concrete circle before the entrance of Marina del Sole in Cagliari, Sardinia late night on Friday 29th August. The traditional yacht was taking on water, due to the damage it caused to the bow area, and structural elements of the boat. The Menorquin was fast rescued and avoided sinking and the day after was lifted out of the water, for assessment and repairs. The Marina del Sole is located South East in Cagliari commercial harbour, while this concrete circle is located couple meters away from the South East looking breakwater arm.
The Menorquin in this this collision is a 160 HT as produced from 2003 up to 2009. The Menorquin 160 was also offered in the Fly flybridge version. Menorquin was founded in 1978 by Juan Luis Sestre who sold to an investment fund in 2006 and close its doors in 2011.
