\tLas Vegas entertainer Wayne Newton\u2019s 65-foot yacht sank Friday while docked at Temple Bar Marina on the Arizona side of Lake Mead.<\/p>\n
\tNewton spokeswoman Tricia McCrone said the yacht was in pristine condition and filled with artwork and family photos chosen by Newton\u2019s wife, Kathleen.<\/p>\n
\tIt appears an equipment failure caused Newton’s 1996 Skipperliner, the Rendezvous, to take on water and sink within minutes, Lake Mead National Recreation Area spokeswoman Christie Vanover said.<\/p>\n
\tA photo supplied by Lake Mead officials showed the 60-ton boat partially submerged with a portion jutting out of the 45-foot deep water.<\/p>\n
\tNo one was aboard at the time, and no injuries were reported, Vanover said. No fuel or hazardous materials have leaked into the water, she said.<\/p>\n
\tLake Havasu City Vessel Assist will salvage the boat later this week, Vanover said.<\/p>\n
\tNational Park Service rangers were investigating.<\/p>\n
