Overview

• The Bayesian was lifted from 150 feet underwater, moved 15 miles along the Sicilian coast and secured on a custom steel cradle at Termini Imerese for detailed inspection.
• Released images of the salvaged interior show mud-soaked furniture and silt-filled cabins while confirming all hatches remained closed.
• Forensic teams are analysing hull sections and the yacht’s stability booklet to investigate the origins of its vulnerability to extreme wind forces.
• Skipper James Cutfield, chief engineer Tim Parker Eaton and deckhand Matthew Griffiths are under criminal investigation by Italian prosecutors for potential manslaughter and causing a shipwreck.
• An interim report by the Marine Accident Investigation Branch concluded the vessel had an undocumented susceptibility to high winds that likely contributed to its rapid overturning.
