As the weather outlook worsened, the skipper made the decision to move the yacht 25 nautical miles west to Porticello in search of better shelter for the night and easier access for guest disembarkation the following day.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/360178/image/large-8e18462afd8ee1c0c418e767f2d3c6b0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/360178">Location and tracks for Bayesian and Sir Robert Baden Powell on 19 August 2024 Timeline of events<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/39" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bayesian55.9m (183'5&quot;)Perini Navi2008">Bayesian</a> arrived and anchored east of the main breakwater at Porticello around 21:24 local time. The wind was light and the sea calm, with thunderstorms forecast, but not yet active. Overnight watchkeeping was in place, and the skipper gave instructions to be woken if wind speeds exceeded 20 knots, or if the yacht began dragging anchor.By 03:00 on 19 August, conditions remained benign with winds around eight knots, but lightning could be seen approaching. At 03:55, the deckhand on duty recorded a video of the advancing storm and noted wind speeds had risen to 30 knots, with the yacht beginning to drag anchor and list to starboard. The situation escalated rapidly.Just after 04:00, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/39" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bayesian55.9m (183'5&quot;)Perini Navi2008">Bayesian</a> and the nearby sailing yacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2259" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sir Robert Baden Powell42.0m (137'10&quot;)Edgar André1957">Sir Robert Baden Powell</a> were both observed dragging anchor in worsening weather.

The generators shut down immediately and battery-supplied emergency lighting came on.”Guests and crew were thrown about the vessel. One deckhand was flung into the sea from the flying bridge. Within seconds, water entered through the starboard side and flooded the internal spaces. Despite heroic efforts by the crew to evacuate guests, including a baby, Bayesian continued to roll and eventually sank stern-first in approximately 50 metres of water.The crew managed to launch one liferaft and gather survivors. At 04:34, a red parachute flare was fired, eventually spotted by Sir Robert Baden Powell, whose tender recovered the survivors at 04:53.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/360180/image/large-3675c08b9028cbee0bcf4afb302ca6dd.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/360180">Radar images, showing passage of rain across the Bay of Palermo on 19 August 2024Weather conditions during the incidentThe weather that struck <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/39" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bayesian55.9m (183'5&quot;)Perini Navi2008">Bayesian</a> was described by the MAIB as not a typical thunderstorm. The Met Office, commissioned by the MAIB to study the meteorological conditions, concluded that a mesocyclonic storm with supercell characteristics had passed over the anchorage.“There was sufficient wind shear and convective available potential energy (CAPE) in the atmosphere to support the development of a supercell,” the Met Office noted. “Associated near-surface winds were likely to have exceeded 100 miles per hour (87 knots).”Radar and CCTV footage corroborated this, capturing a sudden squall front with lightning, poor visibility and violent wind gusts that arrived with little warning.<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/39" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bayesian55.9m (183'5&quot;)Perini Navi2008">Bayesian</a>, at anchor with her centreboard raised and no sails deployed, was effectively in what is known as a ‘motoring condition’. In this configuration, her stability characteristics were drastically different from those presented in the approved Stability Information Booklet (SIB), which only included data for sailing conditions with the centreboard lowered.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/360179/image/large-b626e6b2f5fc9b28ba07f06a8024e100.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/360179">Derived wind heel data in assumed loss condition A commissioned study by the University of Southampton’s Wolfson Unit concluded that, in this motoring state, the angle of vanishing stability, which is the point that a yacht could not recover, was just 70.6°.Furthermore, the tall rig of the yacht, with a 72-metre mast, was responsible for 50 percent of the total wind heeling moment. The wind’s effect was worsened by the aerodynamic profile of the rig and its interactions.Critically, the study determined that when the wind was on the beam, a gust exceeding 63.4 knots was sufficient to capsize the vessel in her motoring condition. The Met Office findings suggest that the squall likely exceeded this threshold.“These vulnerabilities were not identified in the stability information book carried onboard. Consequently, they were unknown to either the owner or the crew of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/39" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bayesian55.9m (183'5&quot;)Perini Navi2008">Bayesian</a>,” the MAIB report states.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/292882/image/large-fb56b565e913e437c983206b4e0452d2.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/292882">The aftermath Despite the extreme conditions and rapid capsize, the report highlights that several crew members risked their lives to guide guests through flooded interiors and onto the decks and later into the water and liferaft.&nbsp;The chief engineer launched the EPIRB and flares were used effectively to attract attention. Basic first aid, flotation improvisation and mustering were all carried out in the dark sea as the survivors waited for rescue.“The skipper organised the abandonment from the flying bridge and instructed the guests and crew present there to swim clear of the mast and boom as the vessel was sinking,” the report recounts.Ultimately, seven people died in the accident, six guests and the yacht’s chef. Their bodies were later recovered by Italian authorities.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/60882/image/large-7837abda3b1f575a9dfce39ad08f224c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/60882">Ongoing InvestigationThe MAIB emphasises that the findings presented remain preliminary.

Fortunately we were able to avoid the traffic long enough to play the game from the front end.”Jolt benefits from the highest IRC TCC in the Maxi Grand Prix class, thanks in part to her trim tab. However, Baird acknowledged that such conditions require ongoing adaptation: “Today it worked and there will be other days where it doesn't, so we just have to keep learning.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/360780/image/large-8164b27bd40913b2e6b613f687f1dd29.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/360780">Finishing second overall and first in the Maxi 100 class was <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5656" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Galateia30.48m (100'0&quot;)Green Marine2015">Galateia</a>, just 1:38 behind Jolt on corrected time.

We thought there was a little more pressure offshore, but we knew it was going to bend left. We had to make a few extra tacks than we wanted, but we managed to manage the boats to the left-hand lay line and then from there it was a reasonably easy race for us.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/360779/image/large-a1637d4eac422efa38f112552dacb513.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/360779">In the Maxi Alpha class, Guido Paolo Gamucci’s Cippa Lippa X led the charge, finishing 12th overall.
