Close.. If you had a dirty screen the 3 would become an 8. :D The reporter was saying they were the same.. Anyway, close enough and still bizarre..

While they are a bit similar at a glance they are not, and easy to identify.

Here are two/three bits which makes it even easier to identify an 830 from an 880.
880 - radar arch looks aft, has anchors that on lower hull sides not from top, and the flybridge layout is different.

2 Identical Yachts Run Aground & Sink, on Same Day! | Ep99 SY News

Yes I'm sure they even have their name badges mounted differently and the oven door has a different handle but they were similar enough for people to think people were talking about one incident when in fact they were talking about the other...

He know his onions with mo boats .
Noticed the pic he has nominated for himself over his name . ;) .Bonus point and kudos to you ( Fire99 ) if you can identify the marque .


Some one once told me …..90 % of what you read on the tinternet is rubbish , not true , inaccurate etc etc .
The knack is weeding out the correct 10 % .
This reporting of “ identical yachts “ by Ep99 SY as PYB has illustrated falls into the former .

There is an advantage to getting Mr G on the job....for anyone else who fixed this boat, people would ask, ‘wasn't that boat underwater?’
But after Mr G has worked his magic, people would ask, ‘wasn’t that boat white?’
 
We had a Cranchi sink some five years ago here locally in some 15 meters after it hit a reef, recovered some 24-48 hours later and bought as salvage by a DiY guy.

I happened to show a boat some 2 years ago in the same yard this boat was located, and I asked the man who owned and was fixing it a view around. I was impressed to be fair, how you can fix GRP.
Also he showed me the D6 engines video which he renewed which he sold for 20k (more then he bought all the salvage I would guess), as he hates Volvo to the bone and mounted a pair of Cummins on it.

With new boats being like in 2024 and Turkey being not far away and quite good in fixing and building boats and also cost effective, I would not be surprised for this to be fixed.
A salvager will surely buy it for peanuts, a used Ferretti 880 is like 1.5 million Euros. So I think the margins for a profit from a yard to fix are not far off.
