56M Perini S/Y Bayesian Sinks During Palermo Storm

And alongside the doomed high-tech superyacht, a 67 year old no-tech antique wood sailboat, refit 25 years ago with a single mitsubishi diesel searched in heavy weather and rendered assistance, to rescue 15 survivors. That's quite a contrast.

Well, the ship was registered in the UK, possible lawsuit to be filed in London shortly?

Against who ? The widow ? That would be in very poor taste.

No, not against the widow.
No idea how this will spin out but if gross negligence is proven in court, then somebody may be found liable.

If you're thinking the captain, I highly doubt his liability insurance will come anywhere near worth going after fron the estate's of the lost.

He got 15 or 16 years in prison, 32 people died, he may still be in jail.

Edit, Google:

Whoever has the deepest pockets. Apparently, that's who is always at fault.

And I'm afraid good taste left town a long time ago.

I never mentioned the widow. Rich people carry a lot of insurance no matter how many layers of protection they have. And times like this is the reason why.

And I’m not necessarily leaving the boat builder out of this equation. As for the widow whose to say she won’t end up suing her own insurance company?

There’s billionaires involved. Eventually, there will be considerable settlements as a result of this catastrophe. Trust me.

With the detail of the bow sinking I wonder if the anchor hooked somthing and drug the boat down?

From another source the "widow" was the principal of the boats LLC

From a news conference this morning::

To be honest after speaking and brain storming how it sank so fast, this is for me the only acceptable way a yacht of this size and standard and condition can sink so fast.
The anchor pulled the yacht down, this helped by the mini storm surge, and probably some other storm factors.
I can find no other reason especially since the divers are saying that everything looks intact.
Cause even if the yacht rolled, with the wind, and it overcame it CoG, normal buoyancy would make it roll upside down and not completely sink.

Previously reported by a rescued person; there were broken windows. Hence flooding after the knockdown. . Foreign object damage? ‍♂️‍♂️‍♂️

Agree, can’t see how the bow would be pushed down even in a 130 knot gust: The mast and rigging would be pushed aft forcing the bow up, then there is the additional buoyancy of a clipper bow.
If she went down bow first it could have been water ingress further aft draining forward, but this is speculation..
