A 21 meter Azimut motor yacht with eight passengers went ablaze and eventually sank in Long Island Sound off Branford Shore on the morning of Thursday 12 August. The Long Island Sound sector Coast Guard received a May-Day call for assistance, but on arriving on the scene the eight passenger onboard the motor yacht where already assisted by civilians boats in the vicinity. The Branford fire department dispatched three fire fighting boats, unfortunately to no avail as the yacht burned down and eventually sank. All the eight passengers onboard the yacht where unharmed.
The Azimut in this accident is a 70 Sea Jet as designed by Stefano Righini and produced from 1996 to 2001. The 70 Sea Jet was a replacement to the 65 Pininfarina and was replaced by 74 Solar, which was a direct evolution.
