The Bayesovo crew is unaware of the wind speed of over 73 miles / h, can take off a yacht, the report finds

The owner and crew of a luxury super sector, which sank from the shore of Sicily, killing technical entrepreneur Mike Lynch and six others, were not aware that the wind speed of over 73 miles / h could overturn it, according to a temporary report.

Modeling ordered after the disaster shows gusts at this speed, hitting the side of Bayesovsky when there were sails down and central

United UK Answer Investigation Branch (MAIB), heading the international investigation, The mentioned winds of over 80 km / h “forcibly” hit the court, causing it to flood within seconds.

It It sank near the city gate on August 19 last year during a surprise time, with reports of water spouts.

Seven of the 22 people on board were killed, including Mr Lynch, 59, and his 18-year-old daughter Hannah.

Investigators say the yacht was demolished at an angle of 90 degrees within 15 seconds at 04:06 local time, causing people, furniture and loose objects to fall through the deck.

“There was no flood indications inside Baysov until the water enters the rails of the right board and within seconds it enters the interior of the staircase,” the report said.

The Chief Inspector of the Maritime Accidents of Mabe Andrew Mall said the situation was “unregulated” after the yacht tilted over 70 degrees.

The yacht had sails down and rose in the center when it was sinking.

MAIB has ordered modeling from the University of Southampton to explore the stability of the yacht under these conditions.

He shows that – if the wind blows directly through the beam or on the side, the boat – wind speeds over 73 miles / h are enough to direct the boat and “possible”, the yacht was the same vulnerable to the lower wind speeds, Maib said.

But this information was not included in the information book on board stability and “therefore these vulnerabilities were also unknown to the owner or for the Baysov crew,” the report found.

Maib is investigating the incident as the Bayesovsky is registered in the UK. No date has been set when its final report will be published.

It states that his report is based on a “limited amount of evidence verified” as a criminal investigation by the Italian authorities has limited access to the remains.

Operation to grow the 56-meter ship from the seabed was stopped over the weekend Once a diver died while working on the remainsS The work had to be resumed on Thursday.

The report sets out more details of how the sinking unfolds.

Investigators claim that the yacht has crushed to the place where she sunk in the previous day to “shelter” from predictions for thunderstorms. The sails were distorted at the time.

The wind speed was “no more than eight knots (9mph)” at 03:00 – about an hour before the incident. About 55 minutes later, it has increased to 30 knots (34.5MP) and accelerated to 70 knots (80.6MP) to 04:06 when the yacht has overcome.

As the storm intensified, several crew members worked in response to the conditions. The deck hand went to the deck to close the yacht windows.

Five people were injured “either by falling or by things falling on them,” and the hand of the deck was “thrown into the sea,” the report said.

Two of the guests of the yacht used the furniture drawers “as an improvised ladder” to escape from their cabin, adds that.

Dr. Simon Boxel, an oceanographer at the University of Southampton, said that Baysovsky was in the “wrong place in the wrong time”.

“The crew’s priorities would be to close the hatches and doors they made,” he told the BBC.

This means speculation about flooding water because everything was open, “obviously not the case.”

“The next priority would be to start the engines – so they would have some maneuverability to position themselves in a storm – and then raise an anchor, which made the crew, but it takes time,” he added.

“It’s not like a car in which you jump and turn the key. It will take 5 or 10 minutes before you can start the engines with a container of this size.”

The survivors fled to Baiesov’s rescue raft and were rescued from a small boat sent from another nearby yacht, the report said.

Mike Lynch was a prominent figure in the UK’s technology industry, where his support for successful companies led to the fact that it was called the British equivalent of Microsoft founder Bill Gates.

But the last years of his life were consumed by a long -standing legal dispute that led to the fact that he was a contradictory extradited to the United StatesS

The production of investigations in the UK is considering the death of G -N -Lynch and his daughter, as well as the chairman of the International Bank of Morgan Stanley Jonathan Blume and his wife Judy Blume, who were all British citizens.

US lawyer Chris Mervilo and his wife, Neda Morvilo, also died in the sinking, along with the Canadian-Antiguan national recalled Thomas, who worked as a yacht chef.

Fifteen people managed to escape to a lifeboat, including G -Lnch’s wife, Angela Bakares.
