Insurance job? Pretty unbelievable for a yacht like that to sink these days without a strike of some sort.

I guess you somehow bought Mr. Flavioso the yacht masters lesser known cousin, the “yacht sinker”. Better luck next time.

Seacock methinks. It happens and if you don’t know how to handle it, the captain is in the drink.

Wow. Good call. I was wondering how in the world a ship of that size could heel over and allow water to get over the beam like that. Just imagine losing a $200mill yacht due to not checking a $200 brass valve... that's why there are checklists! LOL

In all seriousness, they are astonishingly lucky to all be alive. It seems that things went south pretty rapidly.

huh, and here I thought Chewy sprung for a super duper automatic washing option for his yacht. Ehhh, it was a little over a year old anyway, time for a new one.

The reason the yacht sank is being investigated. The Italian Coast Guard saved all aboard.

Reminds me of Chewie’s Cousin Wolfie…when his yacht sank too.

For tax reasons it was a main vessel, but ya. It was small.
