Apparently it was a stabilizer malfunction.
Turkey has now decided to change their focus from shipbuilding to submarines.
The sinking of this ship is fascinating reading.
Its usually the builder's insurance because the yacht has not passed sea trials and been officially handed over to the customer.
Well that's a bitch. That builder is off my list when I get ready to have mine built!
Weight distribution issue? Did it strike something when dropped in, punching a hole in it?
So much for going on a 3 hour tour. I guess at least it happened at shore and not a few miles out.
My main problem with them is that they go on the ocean. Sailing is not for me in this life.
Visiting this museum was one of the most amazing experiences of my life.
Ditto. Something about adrift with no land in sight.
Also the batteries vs sharks conundrum.
I actually like boats and, if I had the financial wherewithal, would own one. A few years back I was in Capri, Italy and there were probably a billion dollars of yachts moored there. It was really one of the most ostentatious displays of opulence I have ever seen and, to be honest with myself, I was a little jealous.
