A nineteen meter Fairline yacht titled m/y Fortitude with five persons and a dog onboard was saved from sinking and beached in Dockweiler, Playa del Rey California on the evening of December third. The yacht was reported in striking the Hyperion Pipe and started to take on water, with its skipper deciding to beach the Fairline to avoid sinking. The Lifeguard section of the Fire Department of the County of Los Angeles responded first to the beaching saving the persons and the dog first. According to reports TowBoatU.S Los Angeles is instructed in refloating the yacht and taking her to a yard for repairs.
The Fairline in this sinking is a second generation Squadron 62 as designed by Bernard Olesinski and produced from 1999 till 2002 in about twenty units. Following the design of the Squadron 52, the Squadron 62 was a replacement to the Squadron 59, and was replaced by the Squadron 58.
