Fascinating articles by Dockwalk. Reports on 5 large (over 25m) motor yacht groundings or sinkings in August alone. Plus of course the wonderful drugs bust in Turkey where the M/Y Ion Fedra was chased by the coastguard, shot up and rammed. Is this normal summer time casualties, or is the imminent recession beginning to worry superyacht owners?

Are superyacht resale values dropping, and some owners looking for alternative routes to cash out quickly ?

No I still can't find anything about the boat you quoted, just about another boat that was drug running and refused to stop.. May be I'm missing something ?
