A twelve meter Alfamarine sport cruiser with five persons onboard semi-sank in the early hours of Sunday eighteen June in Lido di Dante, Ravenna. The sport cruiser is reported to have hit one of the artificial man made reefs created for protecting the beach and sand from rough seas and storms. The five passengers onboard the sport cruiser used the life raft to drop off the sport cruiser and go on the beach for safety. On Sunday morning the fire fighting diving squad inspected the sport cruiser for fuel or any pollution leaks, with none being reported. An operation to remove and salvage the Sport Cruiser was being organized.
The Alfamarine in this sinking is the 40 Bronte S model designed by Franco Harrauer and Renato Sonny Levi and produced from 1976 to 1988 in a total of 146 units. The 40 Bronte was Alfamarine first model and was also offered in two other versions; Motoryacht with flybridge, and Fisherman with a lowered stern, and two propulsion choices of Levi surface drives and line shafts. The Alfamarine 40 Bronte also had a shorter hulled 35 offshot released in 1985. The Alfamarine 40 Bronte S was replaced by the Buzzi hull designed 43.
