Pershing Sinks in Castevi Island Formentera

An eleven meter Pershing sport cruiser sank after hitting a reef while cruising to the North of Formentera on Monday 24 July.  The Pershing hit a reef in the North West of Formentera in between the islet of Castevi and S'Espalmador.  Unfortunately after hitting the reef the eleven meter Pershing sank, first going down aft rising its bow and later sinking completely.  News of this accident are a bit sparse with the photos and incident shown on social media.
The Pershing in this sinking is a 37 as designed by Fulvio de Simoni and produced from 1998 till 2006.  A replacement to the 39, the Pershing 37 was the famous Italian brand entry model during its production.  Pershing also made a one off without radar arch and surface drive version called 38 Endurance, which competed in the Venezia to Monte Carlo race.
