A $79MILLION superyacht owned by a Saudi prince capsized and partially sunk while it was docked in Greece.
The 230ft Nourah of Riyad, owned by Prince Turki bin Mohammed bin Fahd Al Saud, was being lifted out of the water for repairs when it capsized.
The luxury liner was at a repair yard, the Megatechnica shipyard in Perama, Athens, when it was turned at a 45-degree angle, becoming partially submerged in the water.
The exceptionally expensive accident happened at around midday on Sunday as it was undergoing anti-fouling works.
The yacht's crew and workers are said to be safe and nobody was injured when it capsized.
There was no marine pollutiuon as a result of the incident.

Are we sure someone didn’t drop an anchor on the boat, like in Caddyshack?

I would guess that it was probably a failure of the lift equipment.

Good thing it didn’t happen yesterday. My 100-metre superyacht just completed its maintenance cycle in the same shipyard and we got back underway just before sunset. That fools boat could’ve scratched mine. I woulda been perturbed.
