The classic Hatteras yacht Game is back in the news after it broke its mooring line and ended aground in Charlotte Harbor, Charlotte County, Florida on Friday third May. Following this grounding the owner of Game is being charged for abandoning his yacht even though he recessed his title about a month ago following the incident with the US41 bridge, in Punta Gorda, Florida on third April. This is the third time Game ended aground in less to six months, with the yacht first ending aground in a Low Pressure storm which hit South West Florida on seventeen December, then it followed this with the fully news covered Punta Gorda bridge collision, and now this grounding in Charlotte. As of end May, Game was still aground, with a court hearing going up on the end of the month.
M/y Game is a first generation Hatteras 53 Motor Yacht as designed by Jack Hargrave and produced from 1969 to 1977. The 53 Motor Yacht was Hatteras flagship at launch, and one of its longest produced models, and including the second version which arrived in 1978 sold over 350 hulls in a nineteen years production up to 1988.
