85-foot Dolce Vento Luxury Yacht Tips and Sinks Minutes After Launch
According to reports, the new $1 million vessel, an 85-foot cruiser named Dolce Vento, was launched Tuesday in the Ereğli district of Zonguldak, a port city on Turkey’s Black Sea. The amateur video shows the boat being pushed into the ocean down a track on the beach and then swaying within 15 minutes of setting off. As bystanders watched, the luxury yacht lurched to one side, tilting dangerously before taking on water. Chaos erupted as people on board had to scramble onto the sloping deck. As the vessel sank quickly, they were forced to dive into the sea. One clip shows a man in a dark suit standing on the vessel’s side before springing into the water. The Turkish Coast Guard and port teams reportedly rushed to the scene, setting up a security perimeter around the capsized craft as it slipped further into the water. The cause of the disaster is under investigation. Technical inspections will be carried out to determine whether a construction flaw, balance issue or human error doomed the luxury vessel. |

Re: 85-foot Dolce Vento Luxury Yacht Tips and Sinks Minutes After Launch
I'd say $1 mil is a steal (that's about a 3mil boat in the 'western' world), but.... Also, did they take it there to launch, or was it really built in a slip just upslope on just a rocky beach with railroad ties to support the launch carriage? Love the 'cherry picker' push-off.

Better that it happened immediately than in the middle of the ocean

No need. They probably forgot to place the damned stern drain plug. I lost a boat that way.  |

Yes, by all means, do the technical inspection AFTER there was a problem instead of before the launch.
