I wonder what happened here…..a super yacht?  I don’t think so, it is taking on water and all had to abandon it……not cool – see money doesn’t cover every eventuality – bet the owner wasn’t on board……………just the crew

Three rescued from sinking ship

The occupants of a luxury boat had to be rescued when their vessel struck rocks in the Bay of Plenty

20 October 2010
Three people onboard a luxury launch have been rescued in the Bay of Plenty after hitting rocks off Rabbit Island.

The occupants of the 16 metre boat sent out a mayday call just before 11pm last night, and a pilot boat from the Port of Tauranga came to the rescue.

Reporter, Briony Sowden, says the boat’s since washed ashore at the main beach at Mount Maunganui, where it’s taking on water. She says the owners are in diving gear trying to retrieve their possessions.
