Story summary

Peter Mangiameli, a Hamptons real estate developer, has countersued Michail Dokianos, 51, Elena Dokianos, 51, and Sofia Dokianos, 22 after they initially sued him for $6 million following a yacht crash on July 5. The original lawsuit accused Mangiameli of being drunk at the helm when his Cruisers Yachts vessel "the Déjà Vu" crashed into a stone breakwater in Sag Harbor around 10 p.m., causing severe injuries to the passengers. In his counterclaim, Mangiameli alleges that Michail Dokianos had agreed to serve as first mate and dedicated lookout but failed to perform these duties properly. This incident occurred during Mangiameli's return voyage from a trip with the group, after which he reportedly left before police arrived at the scene.
