The first time I saw Billy Black‘s photo of the collision, I had to look twice to believe what I was seeing. It show two white yachts, both under full sail, one slicing half-way through the other. The collision took place on 07/07/07. The losing boat in the collision was the 107-year-old NY30 Herreshoff yacht Amorita of Newport, RI. “07-07-07, Amorita’s Unlucky Day” is a film, directed by French sailor-director Pierre Marcel, which recounts the history, dramatic sinking and resurrection of the classic yacht Amorita.
