Brand New Yacht Capsizes Minutes After First Launch

A BRAND new yacht had an extremely dramatic maiden voyage when it capsized just minutes after being put in the water.

Yesterday, around 2:30pm in Eregli, Turkey, a new 75-foot yacht spent a few minutes in the water before turning over onto its side.

The Dolce Vento was put in the water by the Med Yilmaz Shipyard just 15 minutes bfore it began taking on water, with ship's owner, master, and two crewmen on board.

One of the men could even be seen jumping off of the side of the boat into the water.

Everyone swam safely to shore, and no injuries were reported - other than pride and wallets. According to TMZ, the boat cost just shy of a million dollars.
