07/09/2024 à 15h55 : Les sauveteurs de la « SNSM Notre Dame de La Garoupe » au secours d'un yacht ce samedi malmené par le vent d’Est et la mer particulièrement agité ! On relève dans le secteur des rafales atteignant les 70km/h.

It looks like a brand new yacht, maybe heading to Cannes for the Yacht show.
I do not see any other reasons to be out with that weather

The fenders makes one wonder on what else they skimped...
But the bimini seems to hold well, in fairness!

PS: what sort of contraption is the SAR boat equipped with, under its bow?!?

That’s weird. Looks almost like an artefact from another photo that’s gotten blended into this one.

Internal reflection of commercial fenders to port in a (starboard ?) window of the photographer's boat - which is a biggy ?

Looks like a mast and radar dome from another motor boat.

Internal reflection of an adjacent commercial boat to port in a (starboard ?) window of the photographer's boat ?

That’s a good idea, could be.
