  1. A £14 million super yacht sank taking on water during a waterspout. The super yacht must have been anchored with two anchors, one at the bow and one at the stern. Modern super yachts are built for pleasure and not for rough sea. With a bow and stern anchor, the yacht couldn’t swing away from the wind and like most pleasure yachts she has a low stern with sliding glass doors allowing the waves to enter the cabin.

  2.  @grondhero  Then how did she capsize? A motor sailboat because of its mast is not prone to capsize underway.

  3.  @billbogg3857  The Bayesian had a crew of 10 and had 12 passengers. Only the yacht’s chef died, and 6 passengers are missing and presumed drowned. The captain of the Bayesian, James Cutfield 51, told Italian police that he wasn’t monitoring the weather closely and the ship’s retractable keel was raised, even with an anchor depth of 160 feet. Lowing the retractable keel would have added stability and made it harder to capsize.

  4.  @grondhero  You obviously haven’t done much sailing in a crowed anchorage. There is a chain anchor locker at the stern.

  5.  @billbogg3857  She capsized at her anchorage within sight of land.
