#89: Barchetta—157’0″

How can a yacht hit a pothole? When she’s Barchetta and being trailered down the road from her builder’s facility. Turns out a broken water pipe softened up the road and caused a delay during her launch last April. Thankfully no damage occurred, and Barchetta, featuring a bright-red nameboard, is embarking on her first year on the charter circuit. (For more, see Little Boat.)
