An eighteen meter Azimut sport yacht called Red Baron crashed into the Northerly Island, Eastern shore wall in Chicago on the night of 31 July at around 2300 hours. The Chicago Police Marine Unit rescued the six passengers onboard Red Baron, with two of them being injured and taken for additional treatment to the Northwestern Memorial Hospital. The causes of the accident are unknown but reports are calling for a human error, with the Northerly Island harbour entrance being difficult to get right in some nights more to others. Due to wind and high waves the Azimut salvage was delayed till August third, though it might still be a total loss for the owner. Northerly Island is a Chicago marina located at the South West of Lake Michigan in the East centre part of the USA.
Red Baron is an Azimut 62S as designed by Stefano Righini and produced from 2005 till 2013 in over 150 units. In its last year the Azimut 62S was released as the Italia model with larger engines. The Azimut S series debuted with the 68S in 2003 and changed how sport yachts are designed; thanks to minimal interior styles, patio door main deck, and a separate galley layout. These design choices while common today where unseen before the S series arrived, and they prized Azimut first S model the 68S fast, selling two years of forty plus units production just few months after the first private appearance.
