Princess Runs Aground in Oslofjord Norway

A twenty meter Princess sport yacht with two persons onboard ran aground in Oslofjord, to the South West of Norway on the morning of 21 April.  The sport yacht sustained some important damage with all the forward part of the hull being open in the collision with the rocky surface.  The two persons onboard where reported mildly injured.  No idea how all this happened but the speculation in these kind of accidents is an autopilot running unattended. 
The Princess in this accident is a V65 Mk.II as designed by Bernard Olesinski and produced from 2005 to 2008.  The V65 Mk.II was a replacement to the first generation V65, and was replaced by the Princess V62.
