The super yacht "Yogi" has sunk off the Greek coast after a visit to a boat yard in Turkey for warrenty work to her paint work.

It is reported the vessel sank in a gale force storm after an engine failiure, all the crew where rescued. The vessel sank early morning on the 17th February 2012 about 19 NM off Skyros, Greece. Proteksan Turquoise, the yachts builders, said, "It is unclear at the moment as to what caused the vessel to sink and that will not be known until representatives from the shipyard have been able to speak to the Captain and crew".

The 60 metres M/Y Yogi was awarded the "Most Innovative Yacht of the Year of 2011" during the Cannes International Boat Show and was on her way back to the Mediterranean. It is not known at this time as to whether there will be an official marine accident investigation.

World Marine Guide can feel some sympathy for the Captain who has to make the difficult phone call to the owner!!!
