A sixteen meter sport yacht titled m/y Anne with only its captain onboard collided with a 23 meter explorer yacht near Castellamare di Stabia, Naples on the morning of 20 September. In the collision the sport yacht as the picture above shows received great damage to its starboard bow area, with the quick thinking of its captain who helmed the yacht in reverse to the closest yard facility saving her from sinking. The 23 meter explorer yacht which was on the other end of this collision is reported as receiving minor damage.
The sport yacht in this accident is a customized Italcraft C51 Open called by its customizers as the 54. The Italcraft C51 Open was produced from 1990 to 1992, replacing the C51 Classic which arrived in 1986. The Open featured a new radar arch style, eye shape port holes, and longer windshield. Based on the previous Italcraft Blue Marlin hull, the C51 was a ahead of its time for being the second production boat with a tender garage.
The other yacht in this collision is a Mochi Long Range 23m as designed by Zuccon and produced from 2008 to 2012. The Long Range 23m featured a pioneering hybrid and zero-emission propulsion, and the innovative Fer.Way displacement to semi-displacement hull shape.
