Helicopter crash when landing on Trinity yacht "Bacarella"

It seems to have been some tarp blowing up from the deck into the rotor and then disaster struck...

I'm not all that comfortable with helicopters to start with and watching them land on some of the yachts with so little room for error is something I find scary.

I think the Bacarella is a Trinity that was finished by Rybovich here in WPB. The owner didn't like the quality of the interior woodwork and such that Trinity was doing and yanked it out of there and had Rybovich finish the interior.

Rybovich probably regrets Trinity not building yachts anymore. They had a good business finished what Trinity started.

This yacht has been through a lot considering its decrepit state when it was on auction and now this.

It is a helipad that doesn't meet class rules or aviation standards.

I believe that to be the case.

There is a great deal of information available from class and helideck certification specialists about this issue.

Bacarella was the boat that the owners did not have the final pay check to take delivery with. Rybo did a lot of finishing touches on her and the Trinity boys from Mississippi came in to help complete the punch out list as well while everyone waited for the money to arrive. The owners finally came up with the final check and took delivery. They almost lost all there money on that deal, it was bad for both sides (yard and buyer).
Those owners enjoyed the boat for a short time and then took out a loan from the bank while using the boat as collateral and never paid back the bank loan. The bank owned the boat for some time before re selling it to the next people. I was told the people who owned her now where quite nice people and took care of the vessel quite well.
My avatar picture is of Bacarella's bow as we where leaving Rybo to go across to Europe taken some where just past the Bahamas. I was involved quite a bit back then 2010 or so.
