A 27-metre Canados yacht named Manta has sunk off the coast of Corsica, France, after hitting a shallow reef and taking on water. The local coastguard reported that 11 people were rescued. The incident occurred on August 15 at 6:33 am local time and involved a first response team of 17 individuals, including three divers and one medical assistant. Upon arrival, the team found that the 11 passengers had already evacuated and were safely transferred to rescue RIBs, then brought back to shore at Propriano in Corsica. Despite the best efforts, the yacht sank in shallow water near the Senetosa lighthouse, close to the commune of Sartène. An operation to remove the wreck will be implemented, and in the meantime, the local authorities have imposed a swimming ban in the local vicinity.
