A classic Baglietto of eleven meters in length with one passenger onboard ended up beached with hull damaged being sustained in Plage de Ghignu, near to St. Florent in North Corsica, at 17:25 of Wednesday tenth August. Assistance was called with the two ships Conca D'Oru with six persons and Concarelle with two giving prompt assistance in order to re-float the classic cruiser. The floating got complicated on the night, due to stronger winds and rough seas, but the operation was a success the day after with the classic cruiser being dry docked on the evening of eleven August.
