Super yacht broke lose aling with float in Portland

A strong gust of wind nearly set the 'M5' adrift in Portland Harbor on Sep 22, 2018. The sudden and powerful gust at 8:15 a.m. caught the yacht broadside. The vessel had been docked at DiMillo’s Marina since Sep 3. Combined with the incoming tide the force was so great that the vessel ripped a floating dock away from several pilings. The float remained attached on one end, albeit perpendicular to its intended location, preventing the super yacht and several other vessels from being set adrift. The only damage during the incident was to the pilings, some of which were bent and broken. In the morning of Sep 24, a small crane was on site making repairs, and the 'M5' was docked at the end of Chandler’s Wharf. Advertisement. Gas and electrical lines to the dock remained intact during the incident, so no fuel spilled into the harbour. The gas lines have been shut down during the repairs.
