An eleven meter Itama classic ended aground in Ibiza on the afternoon of Thursday 24th August. The Itama was apparently running with two persons onboard when apparently it ended aground on the islet of Es Malvins to the East of Ibiza. The Itama was recovered on Monday 28th and taken to Eivissa Marina to a yard for the necessary and needed repairs. The Itama was reported to have sustained no hull breach, damage to shafts, propellers and P-brackets, and a scratch on the forward V-section of the hull.
The Itama in this grounding is a 1995 38 model. A project of Mario Amati the Itama 38 debuted in 1978 first as a fully wooden prototype, with the production then moving to fiberglass in later units. The 1981 Genoa presented Itama 38 was also the first boat to feature an under hull exhaust system. The Itama 38 was produced in two versions short windscreen till 1985 and long windscreen up to end production in 2001. 176 made to order Itama 38 were made with the model replaced by the 40 in 2003.
