Salvage to begin in Italy for Lynch's yacht after fatal sinking

  • Mike Lynch's 56-metre superyacht Bayesian sank near Porticello, Italy, in the early hours of August 19, resulting in the deaths of seven individuals, among them Lynch and his daughter.
  • The sinking followed a likely downburst storm and triggered a manslaughter investigation targeting the yacht's captain and two crew members for possible failures in emergency response.
  • The Bayesian, built in 2008 by Perini Navi and weighing 534 tonnes, capsized and sank within 16 minutes while moored near Porticello, with survivors including Lynch's wife and 15 others.
  • A UK-led consortium, employing one of Europe's most powerful cranes, will salvage the vessel after removing its 72-metre mast, and the raw data retrieved from the onboard systems is scheduled to be provided to legal representatives in June.
  • The recovery operation, expected to take 20-30 days, aims to clarify how the supposedly unsinkable yacht sank, while experts and the Italian Sea Group CEO attribute the disaster to crew errors, not design flaws.
