Chris Boulter witnessed this alarming piece of coming alongside in Varazze on the Italian Riviera. He wrote:'While staying in Varazze, moored next to the Baglietto ship yard, a newly launched super yacht left the docks. I was watching with my daughter, when it promptly rammed the bridge that had opened to let it out and then ran up the dockside wall at speed. "
'It had only left the dock 30 seconds earlier - one of the crew jumped off th
e foredeck into the harbour as it hit the harbour wall.It appears that no one was physically hurt (amazing with all sorts of people around on a sunny Saturday) only the skipper's pride and I imagine his paycheck!'
