Fire off Formentera: The 30-meter Astondoa yacht Da Vinci sank (VIDEO)
Flames in the engine room destroyed the yacht. The seven crew members were rescued without injury.
Approximately 7,3 miles southwest of Punta Gavina, in the waters of Formentera, the m/y Da Vinci was engulfed in flames on the morning of August 11. The fire, which broke out in the engine room area, required the immediate intervention of Salvamento Marítimo, which dispatched the Guardamar Concepción Arenal vessel and the Salvamar Naos fast vessel, which also boarded firefighters. The seven crew members were safely evacuated and transported to shore, all in good condition. Despite containment efforts, the flames prevailed: the severely damaged yacht sank that afternoon. Cleanup and debris recovery operations continued in the area in the following hours.
The Astondoa 95 GLX m/y Da Vinci is a 29,45-meter fiberglass motoryacht. Designed by the Spanish shipyard Astondoa between 1997 and 2004, she offers elegant design and high performance. The "Da Vinci" version is one of the most recent units in the series.
This vessel can accommodate up to 10 guests in five cabins and has a crew of four. It is powered by three Man D2842 Le 404 diesel engines, each producing 1.300 hp, which allow it to reach a top speed of 29 knots and a cruising speed of 20 knots.
Her interior, designed by Nuvolari & Lenard, features high-quality finishes and a functional layout. The master cabin is located on the main deck, while the other cabins are on the lower decks.
