A sport cruiser of about twelve meters in length, with four Italian crew onboard hit an unmarked reef and eventually sank in Capo Rodoni, Albania on the early morning of Tuesday seventh June.  The crew was saved by the Albanian maritime police and Italian Finance Patrol. The sport cruiser departed Slovenia some days ago, cruising way through Croatia, then Montenegro before hitting the unmarked reef in Albania.  Beside a shock no injuries where sustained to the two men, one woman and the small child onboard, who had to organize operations in order to recover and eventually repair the sport cruiser.

The sport cruiser in this sinking is a Gobbi 38 Sport from the eighties as designed by Luca Taddei and produced from 1984 till 1992.  The 38 Sport was Gobbi's flagship when was presented in 1984.  The Gobbi 38 Sport was first announced as a 36 Sport in 1983, and was also ahead of its time for being available in a hard-top version.
