Cardigrae VI Sinks

BYM News reports the sad news that the Cardigrae VI, a classic megayacht, sank on Friday in the harbor of Saint Maria di Leuca in Italy. There had been a fire onboard. Local authorities worked to contain the pollution following the leaking of the boat's oil. The fire was caused by a short circuit and burned for almost 10 hours weakening the yacht until it sank. The boat was towed into the Italian port after being severely damaged by fire while cruising off the Italian coast. The 130-foot motoryacht was built in 1962 by Camper and Nicholsons. You can see interior pictures of the yacht as she was before the fire at the Camper and Nicholsons website.

We've covered the impressive 71-meter Utopia megayacht before and now Edmiston announces that she has been sold. Utopia is the second largest Feadship ever built. She was created in 2004 and carries 12 guests in luxury. Details include owner's deck with a stateroom, study, gym, pantry, lounge and outdoor private Jacuzzi, helicopter platform, a tender garage, three guest suites and two VIP staterooms and room for 20 crew members. No price was given but since she charters for around $436,000 per week it's definitely up there. The yacht will still be available on the charter market.
