$7M 50m Eleonora E sunk in Spain after Allision

[Kiwi.]

Our motor yacht was in that exact berth only a few months ago, then we were alongside Eleonora in the PTW shipyard here in Taragona. (We are having an extensive refit.) Our crew were walking past when the accident happened. It's been a few days now and she's still under.
The major value in her was the beautiful wooden interior which will be totally ruined. Our crew report that she sank stern first and was held up by the forward waterproof bulkhead and the dock lines. Then the forward bulkhead blew and the dock lines started snapping and under she went.

Anything is repairable... if you have a large enough checkbook. And I imaging the lawsuit with the SARS boat company will more than cover anything needed. Imagine the smear campaign that could be waged if they didn't offer to cover all expenses of the repair.

The Sociedad de Salvamento y Seguridad Marítima (literally: Maritime Safety and Rescue Society), also known as SASEMAR or Salvamento Marítimo, is a sea search and rescue agency that operates in Spain. It is the body in charge of maritime traffic control, safety and rescue operations, and protection of the maritime environment but lacks any law enforcement responsibilities. The agency runs 20 rescue coordination centers (RCC), employs a staff of 1,500, and operates a fleet of 19 vessels, 54 boats, 11 helicopters, and 4 airplanes.

Have you ever tried to pursue a claim against the government?

That doesn't look like a 150'+ schooner.
