id=\"rr_wrapper14257\" class=\"rr_wrapper\" postid=\"14257\"><\/div>\r\n\t<div id=\"rr_content14257\"> \n<p>The sinking of the superyacht Bayesian has raised several questions about yacht design, safety features, and crew decisions that may have contributed to its rapid sinking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The British-flagged yacht had 22 people on board, including 12 passengers and 10 crew members, when it was struck by a severe storm. The storm created waterspouts in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/sunken.yacht2_.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>At the time of the storm, the yacht was anchored near the small fishing village of Porticello, east of Palermo. Witnesses reported that the ship\u2019s 72-meter mast broke in half, causing the vessel to lose balance and sink. The yacht disappeared beneath the water at approximately 5 a.m. local time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on the available information, here are the key points regarding the incident and its aftermath:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading mb-2 mt-6 text-lg first:mt-3\">Design Features and Potential Contributors to Sinking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Several design elements and circumstances are thought to have potentially contributed to Bayesian&#8217;s rapid sinking:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tall Mast<\/strong>: The exceptionally <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/archives\/743\">tall mast<\/a> may have affected the yacht&#8217;s stability<a class=\"citation ml-xs inline\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bayesian_(yacht)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1<\/a>.&nbsp;Some experts suggest it could have increased vulnerability in storm conditions. Though this is debated<a class=\"citation ml-xs inline\" href=\"https:\/\/uk.news.yahoo.com\/bayesian-yacht-theories-how-sank-111421612.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">3<\/a>, the following should be noted:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The practice of cutting down masts to prevent capsize was common in the age of sail:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1. In extreme weather conditions, sailors would sometimes cut away masts to reduce the risk of capsizing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2. This practice was a last-resort measure to improve stability by lowering the center of gravity and reducing wind pressure on the ship.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3. In Bayesian\u2019s case, her tall mast has been mentioned as a potential contributing factor to her instability. However, there\u2019s no indication that cutting the mast or otherwise reducing weight aloft was considered or possible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The mast height was 72 meters (236 feet), the tallest aluminum mast in the world at the time of construction. Tall masts are commonly believed to give better pointing performance (see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/archives\/743\">Tall Masts Were Desirable<\/a>. The superyacht Bayesian had a total sail area of approximately 1,500 square meters (16,146 square feet). The sails were designed to be stowed aloft, utilizing an advanced furling system typical of Perini Navi yachts, which allows for efficient sail management and deployment. This system is part of the yacht\u2019s sophisticated rigging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/main.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><br \/>The&nbsp;<em>Lady Washington<\/em>&nbsp;was built for duty on the east coast of the Americas as a tall masted sloop and was converted to a split rig (two relatively shorter masts) in 1787, about 20 years later.&nbsp;<em>Ted Brewer has discovered that the vessel was built in Essex, Connecticut and crossed the Atlantic at least once bringing Irish immigrants to the New World.

Proper sail management, understanding weather conditions, and using appropriate heavy weather tactics are essential for safe multihull sailing.While the capsize ratio can provide a quick initial assessment for monohulls, it&#8217;s not as useful for comparing the capsize risk between different types of yachts, especially when comparing monohulls to multihulls. More comprehensive stability assessments and real-world performance characteristics are needed for a true comparison of capsize risk across different yacht types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Retractable Keel: <\/strong>Bayesian was designed with a retractable keel.

An extended keel would have been worse than a retracted one by my theory. Titanic did not capsize, it flooded and after 2.5 hours sank. Perhaps it was the same with Bayesian &#8211; except it took only 16 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Cheeki-Raffiki.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Ventilation Ducts<\/strong>: A former captain of Bayesian mentioned that ventilation ducts on the yacht were vulnerable to downflooding at angles over 40-45 degrees of heel<a class=\"citation ml-xs inline\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bayesian_(yacht)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The downflooding angle is the heel angle at which water can enter a vessel through openings, affecting its buoyancy and stability and requiring crew to begin dewatering processes.
