EXCLUSIVE Why did the Bayesian capsize? Prosecutors to probe keel of £30m superyacht and speak to boat's designer as unearthed clip from 2019 tornado shows what SHOULD happen in stormy conditions By Elizabeth Haigh and Nick Pisa Published: 08:51 BST, 22 August 2024 | Updated: 09:06 BST, 22 August 2024 e-mail 1 View comments Italian prosecutors are to speak to the Bayesian superyacht's designers and analyse the vessel's keel as an unearthed clip from 2019 shows what should have happened when the ship was hit by a waterspout . Yesterday five bodies were discovered as divers continued an urgent search of the £30 million yacht for six missing people after it sank while anchored at around 5am on Monday. While 15 of the 12 guests and ten crew members managed to escape and make it onto a life raft, owner Mike Lynch, his 18-year-old daughter Hannah, Morgan Stanley International chairman Jonathan Bloomer and his wife Judy and Clifford Chance lawyer Chris Morvillo and his wife Neda remained unaccounted for.
As search efforts get underway for the final missing person, whose identity has not been confirmed, prosecutors are set to investigate the ship's keel, which was partially elevated at the time of the storm. The keel, which extends like a giant fin underneath the boat and acts as a counterweight to the tall mast, was not fully down despite poor weather being forecast hours ago.
