A sixteen meter Azimut explorer yacht ended aground just outside of Pwhelli Marina in North Wales, to the west of Great Britain. This accident happened early morning July 21, and salvage operations where being prepared to be done on the evening of the same day, when a higher tide was planned to arrive. Reports say two persons where onboard and no one suffered injuries. Apparently this breakwater reef is difficult to visually spot when there is a medium tide, as it becomes submerged, and lays in position to starboard of the exit channel from Pwhelli Marina.
The Azimut in this accident is a 53 Magellano as designed by Cor D.Rover and produced since 2013. The Magellano 53 came out as a replacement and further development of the Magellano 50. The Magellano range was a thorough investment in research and design into the explorer yacht segment, studying into minimizing the hump characterizing both planning and semi-displacement hulls in around fifteen knots of speed, with the range debuting with the 74 in 2009.
