    The owner needs to stand on the centre board to right it! On a more serious note, I wonder if the two after market extensions have contributed to destabilising the vessel.

    Yep, 'My Saga' was the other one.

    All joking aside, that's a terrifying experience to be on a sinking boat of any kind, especially at night.
    Cheers,

    Wonder what depths they sank in?

    The depth wasn't reported but they were way off shore, 15km i think. It's rumored "My Saga" had a problem with it's garage doors not sealing and started taking on water in a following sea. They tried to tug it back to a yard but it had listed too far to one side and the rescue had to be abandoned.
    There were also a couple of other sinkings around the Italian coast this summer, one at night which hit a reef, that would be scary.
    A couple of boat fires at UK marinas too. Insurance premiums will be on the up next year.

    You can judge the depth that MY 007 sank in from the picture I posted. It seems she had been taking on water and was heading to a sandbar for an emergency beaching.
