Mirabella on the rocks.

Mirabella V, Joe Vittoria's 246ft Ron Holland-designed yacht launched earlier this year, in trouble on the French Riviera! The Big Rig apparently ran onto rocks near the entrance to Beaulieu sur Mer harbor, having dragged her anchor. Winds are reportedly Force 6-7 and Mirabella is on a lee shore. Bad times.

In a related story, a Captain and crew will soon be looking for work.

Although his salary was affordable, perhaps hiring the ex-skipper of the Exxon Valdez was not such a good idea...
