Pari Heading to GenoaLiveyachting.com
11 Jul 09
Motor yacht PARI has now been wielded up at Villefranche dry dock
and is heading to Genoa for a full repair. The superyacht had been
damaged and holed so severely that she required 14 wielders
working around the clock for 3 days to merely patch her up for the
journey to the Amico shipyard in Italy, a journey which began on
Thursday. Apparently the yacht insurance company, Pantaenius, has
been instrumental in the organization of the salvaging of PARI. Yacht
