Hatteras Sportfish Ends Aground Then Sinks

A sixteen meter Hatteras sportfish yacht titled m/y Rae Mar ended aground and then sank near Boston, in Massachusetts, on the morning of Saturday 23 September.  The cause of the collision and grounding are not reported, with the situation getting worse as the sportfish later sank, probably due to high tide coming in.  Some unconfirmed reports are saying the sportfish yacht was on a sea trial at the time of the accident.  It is a strange turn of events to what looks a visible islet.  This Hatteras sportfish yacht was advertised for sale at the time of the collision.
M/y Rae Mar is a 1989 Hatteras 52 Convertible designed by Jack Hargrave, and produced from 1982 till 1990.  who presented a two or three cabin layout choice, and a modified Vee hull closing rather flat to aft.  The 52 Convertible received a look upgrade in side windows and flybridge in 1986.  The 52 Convertible was a replacement to the 53 Convertible and was replaced by the Hatteras 54 Convertible series I.
