Sport Cruiser Saved from Grounding in Lake Baikal Russia

A Sessa sport cruiser of ten meters in length ended aground in what is believed to be Lake Baikal, in Southern Siberia, Russia for an Instagram story shared on the evening of 31st August. The story shared by Instagram user Ipolyakhov, who in the video reel shows as the yacht is trying to released from its collision spot, and is towed by two smaller American made sport cruisers of about eight meters in length, with ten people also pushing, and also helping out with its engines.  The cause of the collision was not reported but it is believed to have been an error of navigation.  In the video the towing event is not shown to be successful, although in the comments sections they said it was successful.
The Sessa in this accident is a 35 Oyster as produced from 2003 to 2005.  The 35 Oyster was a soft evolution of the 34 Oyster, with the model evolving again into the C35 with upgraded details and finishes.  In all three versions Sessa sold over five hundred units.  The towing boats are a Bayliner 305 SB Cruiser and a Crownline 270 CR.
