Five persons were rescued after an eight meter sport cruiser ended aground next to the breakwater outside Marina del Rej, Los Angeles on the night of Wednesday 21 February. L.A. County Sheriff’s Department Marina del Rey marine team responded to the call to rescue the five persons, with one of these also falling overboard in the water. With the quick response of the marine team all persons were not injured. The boat is reported to have ended in this situation after one its propellers got tangled in a lobster pot and becoming powerless. The sport cruiser sustained some damage but her hull was not reported breached and was later recovered.
The sport cruiser in this sinking is a Chaparral 29 Signature as produced from 1991 to 2000. The Chaparral 29 Signature came out as a replacement to the 27 Signature and was replaced by the 280 Signature in 2001.
