An eleven meter Pursuit sportfish cruiser with one person onboard ran aground on the breakwater of the Thames River, Norwich PI, New London, USA on 06:00 hours of Thursday fourth August. The captain and lone occupant was not injured and received immediate help by two Firefighting boats who assisted the sportfish cruiser from the land pumping out the water which was coming from the damaged hull. Later a TowBoatUS boat was finalizing a tow procedure to be made in high tide, which also meant to seal the hull bottom damage from the collision.
The sportfish cruiser in this grounding is a Pursuit 3800 Offshore as produced from 2001 up to 2004. The Pursuit 3800 Offshore also called the Express was replaced by the 3800 Open a direct evolution with a sloop stern. In 2008 Pursuit decided to focus exclusively on outboard powered boats, leaving to sister boat Tiara the inboard segment with the 3800 Open replaced by the similar looking upper structure but completely new hull OS 375 Offshore.
