Four Brits feared dead after ‘tornado’ sinks £14m Bayesian superyacht off Sicily as divers scour wreck for survivors

TheDailyBeast

A boat captain who helped save 15 tourists from a superyacht that sunk off the coast of Sicily has told how it “went flat on the water and then down.” Karsten Borner’s Dutch sailing yacht, the Sir Robert BP, was anchored close to the Bayesian when the maritime equivalent of a tornado ripped through the water. Borner told The Sun, “We managed to keep the ship in position, and after the storm was over, we noticed that the ship behind us was gone.” He and his crew spotted a flare and rising smoke then a life raft drifting with 15 people, including a 1-year-old baby. Borner called the Italian coast guard and rushed out to guide the raft back to safety. The sunken superyacht’s owner, billionaire tech investor Mike Lynch is missing, feared dead, as is his 18-year-old daughter Hannah along with two other Americans and two Brits.

A luxury superyacht capsized off the coast of Sicily after a tornado hit the area early Monday, killing one passenger and leaving six others missing — including a tech tycoon known as “Britain’s Bill Gates,” officials said.

The Bayesian — a 184-foot luxury sailboat with 22 people aboard — sank off the port of Porticello when it was hit by a violent storm at sunrise, the Italian coast guard said.

The boat was found 160 feet beneath the water’s surface, and the coast guard deployed divers to search the submerged vessel for survivors.

Experts have offered theories about how a thrill-seeking Canadian couple’s attempted transatlantic sailing expedition turned tragic last month, positing their homemade vessel may have been struck by a much larger ship soon after they departed Halifax on the country’s North East coast.

Earlier this month, the bodies of Brett Clibbery, 70, and Sarah Justine Packwood, 54, were found on a life raft washed up on Sable Island, Nova Scotia. 

The area is ominously nicknamed the “Graveyard of the Atlantic” due to the large number of shipwrecks that wind up on its shores.

A survivor of the luxury superyacht that sank near Sicily during a violent storm says she saved her 1-year-old by holding her above the rough and choppy waters.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.
