According to unconfirmed news the skipper beached the Riva yacht to save it from total sinking. The cause of the water coming into the yacht was not reported, if of technical nature or the Riva hit something. No injuries are reported from sinking, with a plan to float the yacht and to take it for repairs being set in motion on the same day.
