You forget an important part of the story. I worked in this industry for many years and I cannot count the completely stupid, irrelevant, crazy, moroonic demands that these rich people request. If you don t, you will be fired. Period. So if a mega rich daughter wants to go for a dip in the middle of the night, you open the door and pray that nothing happens. But still, you are fully responsible. That s why I quited the industry. I could not cope anymore with the stupidity of these rich customers that would sent me to jail sooner or later.

Excellent review, one of he best so far in this terrible tradgedy. RIP to all who lost their lives and condolences to the survivors. So unfortunate.

What a sad.
Ending. To a beautiful elegant and graceful lady. Who now rest in her watery grave. Rest in peace. To the ones who couldn't make it out.

Omg! The video of that catamaran flying up like that was unbelievable. Hiw terrifying. Those storms are no joke on the water. Wow.

[georginaporter]

funny how the main deck looks like an average coffeeshop seating area, yet is sunken into the structure creating a pool effect. and designers calling it unsinkable!?

Humans must never take the Oceans or mother nature lightly or for granted how many times must we learn this lesson.

I live on a sailboat ⛵️. Been through many terrifying storms including a hurricane. Had to be rescued even. Still, I can’t even imagine the HORROR ALL of these people went through. God help us all.

I've been on a race boat just out of Auckland when there were a number of water spouts. We were hit by one. We went from starboard knock down to a port knock down and cracked the carbon mast. You could have 2 boats within swing distance and both could have a totally different impact.

Excellent report. Thank you. Very sad. Tragic

[jonimakesails]

This is the first report I have seen that looks into the possible causes of this terrible incident that speaks from someone who knows what they are talking about.
A lot of questions around what happened.
I have over 25 years experience working with superyachts including Perini Navi have seen the effect of wind on these huge rigs.
Nothing quite as crazy as the footage from Auckland show in this video.
Will be following closely to find out what happened.
Given the high profile nature of this incident it is sure to have repercussions across the yachting industry.

As a former professional mariner and currently a based researcher, I am intrigued. The likelihood of this event, though theoretically possible, is literally multiple millions to one. That the crew were spared, excepting the chef, and the financial elite taken seems almost divinely ordained. That the yacht should be named after a school of philosophy which basically discounts this principle goes beyond irony. It's as if they truly were smote by God.

[NJBill]

The entire crew survived so why is this still a mystery? Just ask them what happened.

[williamlloyd]

Appreciate the informed briefing.
PS - loose the background music and extra video footage, it really doesn’t add anything and is actually annoying
PS2 - it’d be interesting to hear about how they do stability calculations on a unique design and how this knowledge is passed on to captain and crew.

The AIS suggests the Yacht dragged anchor and the Stern was turned to the wind and waves.
That is the most dangerous position a yacht can be in a storm. The waves could smash the rear doors/windows engulfing the Stern.
This lowers the Stern allowing more waves and water to flood the yacht. 3-4 waves and the yacht is doomed.

Was sitting in a parking lot on the shore and saw a system over the water but it was hard to judge the speed because it was coming straight at us and I told the driver to get out of here but they were fumbling around and by the time she started the car only a few seconds passed and it was to late so we stayed parked instead of moving in it and it went over us tossed the car all around and uprooted 2 foot trees near us we were lucky to not get hit by a tree it was a violent fast moving water spout and nearly impossible to dodge in a car. All my best to these families.

Apparently the crew were on deck securing the furniture etc as the storm was ongoing . so open doors and hatches are a realistic possibility. This explains why most of the crew survived and were in a life raft. The chef died, as he was obviously asleep and not responsible for on deck work.
Both of those cockpits look terrible with hindsight. The cockpit steps acting as a canal for the water coming over the side.

Sorry for the terrible accident. Sometimes it is good to be by far not so rich. All of those enjoyments (flying, sailing, extreme mountaineering, wingsuiting, bungeejumping, free climbing, etc) have their hidden deadly risks.

I have sailed on yachts and dingys, One piece of advice from seasoned salt is that there is no such thing as a unsinkable boat it may seem perilously assumptive but, expert opinion may well be correct.I was not aware that the Keel was a swing type . I am sure the Master has been asked Why was the keel raised ? My thoughts are with the relatives at this sad time

[philrobson]

I once stepped on the gunnel of a 20’ sailboat whose keel had fallen off. It could have capsized had it not been moored to the dock. It was as tippy as a canoe.

Didn’t know about the sunken, swimming pooled-sized entertainment up forward. If it wasn’t water tight or if it was but not secured, your explanation for the sinking is the best I’ve heard yet.
It seems the owners of these lavish vessels are more concerned with appearances than with seaworthiness. And, as illustrated yet again, the sea dies not respect egos
