Riva Beaches in Istria Croatia

A sixteen meter Riva sport yacht ended up beached near Katina island, in the Kornati islands archipelago in Croatia on second June.  The cause of the accident are unknown and not reported but these waters are marked in the charts and even by a static marker to port side of this accident.  No injuries where reported and the Riva was recovered on the morning of fifth June.  The Riva sixteen meter sport yacht had damage to the hull and its running gear; P-brackets, propellers, rudders, and shafts.  
The Riva in this accident is a Rivale 52 as designed by Mauro Micheli and produced from 2004 till 2016 in over one hundred units.  The Rivale 52 offered a fresh approach to Riva sport yachts above fifteen meters, looking like one of the smaller fast cruisers on steroids, this design formula then repeated with the larger 63 Virtus and the replacing 56 Rivale.
