An eleven meter Pershing sport cruiser went ablaze while in its mooring in Porto Rosa in the North coast of Sicily at around 2100 hours on third February. The Messina fire fighting squad went to the scene to control and put off the fire, with two units. No one was injured in the accident, and no nearby boats where damaged, although the Pershing sport cruiser did receive extensive damage especially to the aft super structure. This looks really a pity as this Pershing 38 really looked updated having silver and blue coloured hull as the modern units onwards from 1998, and safety railing as that of newer models.
The Pershing in this fire is a 38 model as designed by Fulvio de Simoni and produced from 1993 to 1996. The Pershing 38 evolved into the 39 with the difference being an extended bathing platform good for tender stowage, and an optional forward facing radar arch. A surface drive option was also made available in the 39 but only two units where sold with this set up, for a total production of about twenty units.
