Body Of Mike Lynch Retrieved From Yacht Wreckage: Report | Boat-Maker Questions ‘Sinking’ Theory

[@judyfood]

As a professional delivery and charter skipper, of sailboats, and well over 100k sea miles in several oceans, I find most of these comments so ridiculous from people who probably have NEVER set foot on a yacht much less experienced any wx events at sea. Instead of being so quick to blame the captain perhaps wait until an official report is completed. A couple of my thoughts to clear up some possible misconceptions, I think it’s safe to say, there were no ports open, on a luxury yacht the generator would have been on with everyone sleeping comfortably in air conditioning. Wealthy folks are not into camping. You don’t hold the captain position on such a yacht without years of experience. Weather can change in moments. Water spouts (basically a tornado over water) may not show up on radar. It was dark so you wouldn’t see them coming at night and even if you did they are as erratic as a land tornado. To think you could just pull up anchor and move out of the way is ludicrous. I certainly do not know why she sank and will await the final report. Regardless, it is a tragic loss of life.

[@catirro]

In such cases, in order to counteract the strong effect of the wind and not drift, the engines are started and the bow is turned against the wind. They endured a storm/small tornado for exactly 16 minutes. Most likely, the ship (boats longer than 24 meters are called ships) turned around itself approximately 180° and the ship's propeller got tangled in the anchor chain. Therefore, structural damage occurred in the aft area where the garage and engine room are located, causing a large leak, the ship started taking in water at this point. Perhaps the bulb keel also broke and a 56-meter ship sank in 60 seconds. Nothing happened to the Dutch flagged ship that was about 200 meters next to it. Strong ships of this type can only be sunk by submarine torpedoes.

[@Tomm9y]

So sad to hear that Mike Lynch and the other missing guests are being found dead, there was hope for a while. Crew and guests simply being questioned for a few hours is inadequate. This should a murder/manslaugher inqury from the outset, involving both Italian police and British police in conjuntion with the UK's specialist MAIB (Marine Accident Investigation Branch). Already there are reports that the captain was not concerned about the weather and had not been checking for more more detailled information, at the same othe yachts had left the country to avoid the known risks. It seems also that something was seriously amiss with the procedures that night. The designer is correct about the boat being unsinkable. Yachts are required to have watertight bulkheads, so that in the event of one area being flooded the boat will not only float upright but can be operated in even a limited way. I wonder if the captain was supported by a shore team.

[@sonneversets3530]

The investigation is ongoing w/more being added to it. You can be sure all crew & Captain will be vigorously questioned. They said all the captain could even say at first was, “We didn’t see it coming.” From the shock he was in. Open hatches had to be an issue as well. It just went down too quick. Crew should have woken up guests w/life vests when the storm hit, too. More may have survived. Human error seems a viable cause, overall. I would think some charges will be filed when this investigation is over.

The mast was still intact so mast was not the problem

[@Nikitateagurl_77]

@@rozhollywood89 it looks intact at the bottom of the sea because when the boat rested on its side, the mast kinda corrected itself too but already uprooted

It is bizarre! Maybe the sail was too high?

Pushing the limits on sleek design.. mast too tall for the vessel in comparison to length??

The yacht didn’t have it’s stabilizer in place. It blew over because there’s nothing to keep it from tilting over.

Saying a boat is unsinkable is as stupid as saying something is bulletproof.

Remember , the tag on Titanic - "Unsinkable Ship" and the rest is history.

[@Tom-sg4iv]

Well, the Italians also believed the Costa Concordia was unsinkable. Didn't start evacuation before it was 60% under water🤷🏼‍♂️

[@AbubakarSanusi-lf9kw]

Nah this is some weird stuff. Those men were probably targeted with some high-end weapons. Although I believe that it's destined that they are to die at the time they did but this was no ordinary incident. Edit: There's NOTHING LIKE UNSINKABLE. People just like being deluded with themselves like the yacht builders.

[@snapdragon6601]

A weapon that can generate weather? I don't know. I don't think they can do things like that. Make it rain? Yes. But there's a big difference between cloud seeding and creating tornados.

[@AbubakarSanusi-lf9kw]

@snapdragon6601 You wouldn't know what modern technologies are capable of doing nowadays, especially top-secret stuff that is being developed.

[@DRventura333]

One never knows what to expect out in the waters. However, wasn't the captain aware of the impending storm? Didn't he take precautions? Was he like the captain of the Titanic, foolishly trying to test the unsinkable yacht? Sorry for the families who lost loved ones in this tragedy. Odd though of these reports that a business partner was unalived a few days prior. Hopefully, the daughter is found.

[@cainestadler9414]

Titanic was also thought to be unsinkable

[@AcidRai]

Don't say that something is unsinkable because then it sinks, the same story with the titanic says that it won't sink and it did sink.

[@TheMike5232]

Lynch dies on a boat and his co-defendant in the same suit dies that weekend after getting hit by a car. yeah coincidence?

[@techFPV5964]

Anytime someone tells you "this boat is unsinkable" you better run as fast as you can because that's what they said about the Titanic.

[@captegonviljoen8248]

Did they arrest the driver who hit Chamberlain or was it a hit and run

[@Mia19836]

For your information the driver was a 49 yr old local woman who stayed at the scene so not a hit and run.

There is no such a thing as an "unsinkable" ship. let that sink in, CEO of "unsinkable" ships.

Where did we hear a boat was unsinkable...Titanic. There is nothing unsinkable and no builder shouldn't give their owners such impression.

[@Chris-vp2lm]

As much money is at play here the sailboat will have be raised and inspected. The ship builder is in hot water and his credibility is at stake. What happened exactly and why did it sink so fast?

[@scorpionback7904]

They were all murdered really sad

[@JN-om6rw]

The mast is 73 meters tall so according to the law of the lever it might not take too much effort to push the boat over especially if the keelboard was withdrawn also if port holes were left open ..

[@sonneversets3530]

The massive mast snapped. No doubt causing the yacht to list badly in the storm as it thrashed about in the wind & waves. Open hatches took care of the rest, for a speedy doom. Hope they cried out to Jesus, prior.♥✝

[@Aaron_Hanson]

It was anchored.

[@sergiokroff4321]

For me as NA rather than considering the irresponsability for not to look for harbour waters while the storm approach presumably knowing by the weather forestcast (Note: historically Roman galleys or mechant ships offten capsized on the same way on this area) and the combination of the vessel heading (presumably transversal to the incoming waves or paralel to the shoreline, anchored not sailing) with the main enviromental actions on the hull expose to the waves (load condition) and the fluctuating gusting wind forces on the mast area, lead to the yacht to oscillate (Roll) with amplitudes reaching the Roll resonance physic phenomena (ship Roll amplitudes in which any external excitation force can induce an unrestrained oscillation motion) that over come the yacht transversal stability capability inducing with a counter moment capsized the vessel and flooded after through the open hatch , very sad event , then the most probably new regulation for this type of vessel its seem for me that it will be the requirement for encrease the number of water tight compartiments (e.g.double hull) to allow a buoyancy capability on this kind of events although as the designer said while the yacht sail its unsinkable but anchored with open hatches heading transversal to the waves and wind is a very different history.
