Classic Yacht Sinks Then Recovered Near Caprera Island

A classic seventeen meter motor yacht titled m/y Vintage 06:50 hours sank near Caprera, on the Island of Maddalena to the East of Sardinia on 06:50 morning time of Monday 21 August.   and then sinking in about forty meters of deep sea was recovered in Maddalena Island, near Caprera to the East of Sardinia on the morning of Saturday second September.  The classic yacht sank in forty news, after it had a structural plank collapse in rough seas, opening a hull breach.  

On the morning of second September a detailed operation in salvaging the classic yacht, with a team by Marina di Porto Massimo, and Costruzioni Marittime e Edile from Olbia and assistance and monitoring by the Guardia Costiera and Harbour Masters of Olbia was organized.  This was a difficult job, with two tug boats and three water craft, towing the yacht to a boat yard in Palau in Sardinia some five nautical miles from the point of sinking.

M/y Vintage is a 1970 Cantiere Navale di Chiavari Paragina 1000 designed by Gino Solari and build triple planking and produced from 1968 to 1970.  Gino Solari will evolve the Paragina 1000 looks into the larger Portofino twenty meter.  Cantieri Navale di Chiavari was founded in the eighteen century, building about seventeen boats a year in the sixties Italian pleasure boating renaissance and closing its doors in 1975. M/y Vintage is the last build Cantieri Navali di Chiavari Paraggina 1000, receiving an important refit in 2023.  For details of this refit I am leaving a link in the comments section.
