The Zirri reef in the South East of Palmarola hits again on the evening of tenth August partially sinking a twenty meter Sunseeker Predator sport yacht. The details of the accident are unknown, with this picture being copy pasted from a viral video shown on social media. The Zirri reefs are famous for always taking someone out every Summer, possibly due for being visually unmarked, and located about a quarter of a nautical mile away from the mainland of Palmarola. From this picture looks like the running gear, which is in most cases the deepest part of most motor boats was hit, and created a hole. Information says that the Predator 68 was salvaged and is in a yard in Ponza.
The Sunseeker in this accident is a Predator 68 as designed by Don Shead and produced from 2001 to 2005. The Sunseeker Predator 68 has similar high performance low profile exterior looks to the Predator 75 which launched in 1999. The Predator 68 was a replacement to the Predator 63 and was replaced by the 62.
