'Bayesian' Yacht Sinks: Disaster Could Possibly Have Been Prevented

The luxury yacht 'Bayesian' sank off the coast of Sicily after a severe storm hit. The captain could have reacted in time and steered the boat towards Naples.

Factors contributing to the rapid sinking include an open hatch, a tall mast, and the ship being at anchor. The sinking of the 'Bayesian' is a big mystery as it was considered one of the safest boats in the world.

The exact sequence of events is still puzzling investigators. The storm hit the yacht and another boat, the 'Sir Robert Baden Powell', which managed to stay afloat.

The sinking happened so quickly that only mattresses, furniture, and a radar component were found during the search for survivors. Experts believe that the yacht may have been hit by a water spout or that the partially raised keel played a role in the sinking.

Investigations are ongoing to determine the cause of the tragedy and to prevent environmental damage from the 18,000 liters of fuel on board.
