Some stories are beyond understanding and this is one of them for this 23 meter Azimut motor yacht titled M/Y Hey Mon under Jamaican flag which sank in Rosslyn Bay Marina, East of Rockhampton, in Queensland Australia on the eleven of May after hitting its bottom. Hey Mon was anchored for over a week in Rosslyn bay, but the Azimut motor yacht lost its anchor hold with winds on the day reaching thirty knots and beaching the yacht at Lammermoor Beach. Mostly because in all photos the main deck was always above the water. A few days later the yacht ended beached, with parts from the yacht and it's toys, ended up scattered on the beach.
Hey Mon has had a colourful history in recent times, first being kicked out of a marina and ending up blocked on the Sundale bridge and damaging the radar arch in the process, then ending up beached in Bums Bay boat ramp. Unfortunately this last event at Rosslyn Bay might be this yacht final nail in the coffin, with the yacht gutted in several pieces for removal on the 24th May.
M/y Hey Man is a 1995 Azimut 78 Ultra as designed by Stefano Righini and produced from 1993 till 2000. Tthe 78 Ultra was Stefano Righini first design for Azimut, a relationship which will last till 2017 and the Italian designer retirement from his duties. For being Righini's first the 78 Ultra is an important milestone in Azimut history and success. The Azimut 78 Ultra was a replacement to the AZ76, and was replaced by the 85 Ultimate.
