Cranchi Sport Yacht Hits Reef Near Villasimus

A Cranchi sport yacht of fifteen meters in length hit a reef before the entrance to the Villasimus marina, located to the South of Cagliari in the island of Sardinia on the afternoon of fourteen August.  The Cranchi yacht hit the reef and in order to avoid the yacht from total sinking, the captain owner pushed it up the rocks.  With weather getting worse and the yacht sitting on the reef it eventually sustained more damage.  The crew of five was saved from the yacht.  The Cranchi yacht was salvaged and taken to Villasimus marina couple days later, though unfortunately it is deemed a total loss.  

The Cranchi yacht in this accident is a 50 Mediterranee as designed by Andreani and produced from 2000 till 2009 and build in 150 units.  The 50 Mediterranee was also also available in the HT hard-top version from 2005, and was Cranchi flagship up till 2009 and the release of the SixtyFour.
