A 23 meter explorer yacht build of steel titled m/y Nephele, fell during lift out operations at Leros Marina, on the Aegean island of Lakki, Greece, on the morning of third October. According to reports from witnesses the steel cable broke during lift out operation, resulting in the yacht partly falling into the water from a height of about two meters. Luckily for the yacht it was also the forward part which fell, as if this was the stern the damage might have been much worse, with this fall out only doing some minor cosmetic scratches when the cable fell on the fore-deck. Following the accident the yacht was also checked and sea trial tested with no damage reported.
The explorer yacht in this drop is a Russian build Laky Verf 23M as designed by Guido de Groot, with naval architecture by Martin de Jager and produced since 2005, so far in six units. Laky Verf debuted in 2005 with the 23M model, and apart yachts also builds pilot boats.
