Faith deckhand Michael Hanlon's death ruled accidental

A verdict of accidental death has been recorded by an inquest into the death of a crewmember from 62m superyacht Faith in April 2013.

Michael Hanlon, 22, died after falling into the water in Port Vauban, Antibes, after spending a night out with fellow crew. He was reported missing by the yacht's captain, and his body was recovered later by police divers.

South Cumbria deputy coroner Alan Sharpe told Boat International that the inquest's "simple conclusion was accidental death".

The inquest heard from Lars Van Dinther, Faith ’s captain at the time of Hanlon’s death, who said: “We assumed that he had stayed ashore and we waited until about 10am before we started getting concerned and making phone calls.

“A pair of flip flops had been found on the deck earlier in the morning but that did not concern me at the time. Nobody put it together with Michael not being there until later in the day”.

Despite the inquest, exactly how Hanlon ended up in the water remains unclear. His family raised concerns about the hours being worked by Hanlon and the fact that he was unable to access the yacht. A statement from the watch officer was read at the inquest that said all doors on the yacht had been locked at 10pm.

But Faith 's former captain said that he "had no concerns over the procedure on getting on the boat at night”. According to Van Dinther, a coded locker held a spare key that would allow entry, and crew could also ring a bell to wake up the captain or watch officer or wait at the crew door for another member to return.

The deputy coroner said he would be issuing a letter of recommendations to the yacht’s owner and maritime agencies about potential changes in procedure to help crew safety.

Charities have been founded in Michael Hanlon’s memory to collect funds for the UKSA (formerly known as the UK Sailing Academy), with one funding page raising more than £38,000.

An inquest is currently taking place into the death of a Cumbrian sailor who died while working on a £65 million superyacht.

The coroner in Kendal was told 22-year-old Michael Hanlon, from Windermere, probably drowned after falling into the harbour from the luxury yacht "Faith" at Antibes in Southern France.

The inquest heard Mr Hanlon had been drinking in local bars before returning to the yacht on his own in April 2013.

His body was found by police divers a few hours later at the bottom of the harbour next to the yacht.

His family believe he fell while trying to climb on board.

The 5 tragic minutes that sank a superyacht

PORTICELLO, Italy — Survivors of a storm that sank a superyacht off Sicily recounted their ordeal to one of the doctors who rushed to their aid, with some saying it took mere minutes for the 180-foot ship to go down. 

Dr. Fabio Genco, head of the Palermo Emergency Medical Services, told NBC News on the phone Thursday that he arrived in the seaside village of Porticello before dawn Monday, about an hour after the $40 million Bayesian sank in the violent and sudden storm.   

Of the 22 people onboard, 15 survived despite storm conditions and darkness, climbing onto a lifeboat before being rescued by a nearby sailboat. The crew members have made no public statements so far, though some have been interviewed by investigators.

“They told me that it was all dark, that the yacht hoisted itself up and then went down,” Genco said, recounting what the survivors told him. “All the objects were falling on them. That’s why I immediately made sure, by asking them questions, if they had any internal injuries,” he said. 

It appears they had just minutes to abandon the sinking ship, Genco said. 

“They told me that suddenly they found themselves catapulted into the water without even understanding how they had got there,” he said, “And that the whole thing seems to have lasted from 3 to 5 minutes.”

Giovanni Costantino, CEO of The Italian Sea Group, which owns Perini Navi, the Bayesian's shipbuilder, told Sky News that there were no flaws with the design or construction of the yacht. He said their structure and keel made boats like that “unsinkable bodies.”

In an interview with the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, he disavowed responsibility, blaming instead the actions of the crew. “Mistakes were made,” he said. 

Genco said one of his colleagues who arrived at the scene before him initially thought that only three people survived, but the coast guard reported there were other survivors and more emergency services were called in. 

When Genco arrived, he found scenes of panic and despair. 

“Unfortunately, we are used to such panic scenes because we are used to the shipwrecks that happen on Lampedusa ,” Genco said, referring to the island southwest of Sicily, where the wreckage of boats carrying migrants on the sea journey from North Africa to Italy are often found . 

Six of the passengers were declared missing Monday, and by Thursday, the bodies of five had been recovered from the wreck , some 160 feet underwater.

Among those who survived is Angela Bacares, wife of the British tech mogul Mike Lynch , whose body was recovered Thursday. 

Another survivor has been identified as Charlotte Emsley, 35. She told the Italian news agency ANSA that she had momentarily lost hold of her year-old daughter, Sofia, in the water but managed to retrieve her and hold her over the waves until a lifeboat inflated and they were pulled into safety.

Dr. Domenico Cipolla at the Di Cristina Children’s Hospital in Palermo is also part of a team of medical professionals treating the shipwreck survivors. He told the BBC on Wednesday that Emsley and her daughter, as well as the father of the child, who Cipolla said also survived, are continuing to receive psychological help. 

“Psychological support was constant and is constant even today, because basically it is the wounds of the soul that are the most in need of healing in these cases,” Cipolla said.

Genco also told NBC News that he was especially concerned about the child. “She did not understand anything. She was soaking wet and cold,” he said. 

Karsten Borner, the Dutch captain of the Sir Robert Baden Powell, a yacht that was anchored near the Bayesian, said by phone Wednesday that he saw a thunderstorm come in at around 4 a.m. local time (10 p.m. ET) Monday, followed by what looked like a waterspout, a type of tornado that forms over water. 

The International Centre for Waterspout Research noted on X that there was a “waterspout outbreak” off Italy on Monday, the day the Bayesian sank. 

“I turned on the engine and made maneuvers so that we wouldn’t collide with the Bayesian, which was anchored about 100 meters from us,” Borner said. “Then all of a sudden it disappeared. Then the wind calmed down, we looked around and saw a red flare.”

Borner said he got into his boat’s tender and saw a life raft with 15 people on it. Members of the crew were administering first aid. 

“I don’t know why it sank so quickly, but it may have something to do with the mast which was incredibly long,” he said. Questions have been raised about whether the mast was to blame for the accident as tall masts, even with the sails down, have more surface area exposed to the wind, which can contribute to tipping a vessel in a storm.

The CCTV footage that emerged Tuesday showed the yacht’s 250-foot mast, believed to be one of the tallest aluminum sailing masts in the world, lashed by the storm as it appears to tilt to one side before disappearing.

A Canadian billionaire will be asked to review safety procedures on his £65million super yacht after a 22-year-old British deckhand plunged to his death.

Michael Kors fashion magnate Lawrence Stroll faced criticism over boat access and working hours after Michael Hanlon drowned while the yacht en route to pick up Catherine Zeta-Jones.

Mr Hanlon's family told an inquest that the 22-year-old was 'overworked' from long night shifts in the days leading up to his death at Port Vauban in Antibes in April 2013. 

The tragedy could now have an industry-wide impact as the coroner will be making recommendations to boat owners and maritime agencies about changes to safety procedure.

Mr Hanlon was just weeks into his dream job working as a deckhand on Faith when he drowned after an accident while it was docked in southern France. 

Serious concerns about procedures were raised at the inquest into the 22-year-old's death after it emerged he was locked out of the 62-metre yacht after returning from a night out with friends.

It heard he may have slipped to his death from the boat while trying to climb up to an 'unofficial emergency entrance' on the upper deck.

Coroner Alan Sharpe recorded a verdict of accidental death at Kendal County Court in Cumbria and will now write to Mr Stroll, 55, regarding safety procedure.

His mother Fiona said: ' I was in regular contact with time in the days leading up to when he died and he hardly had any sleep. He was just completely overworked and exhausted.

'His last messages to me were that he was looking forward to getting some sleep.

'The circumstances in which Michael died are still not clear and its obvious there are lessons to be learned by the industry, its governing bodies, officers and crews.

'The marine industry has such resources at its disposal that it should not have to compromise the safety of its crew. Life is sacrosanct.

MICHAEL KORS FASHION MAGNATE

Canadian billionaire Lawrence Stroll, 55, founded Sportswear Holdings Ltd with Hong Kong based Silas Chou.

In 1989 he acquired the then relatively unknown Tommy Hilfiger brand and built it into a world wide brand.

His company then bought a 52 per cent stake in Michael Kors in 2003 and masterminded the successful stock market launch in 2011.

He stepped down from the board after more than a decade of involvement at the fashion house in 2014. 

'The coroner will be making recommendations to the boat owners and other maritime agencies about potential future procedural changes to protect anyone and everyone that operate at sea within this sometimes dangerous and unpredictable environment.'

She said that a previous MailOnline article had encouraged a former officer on board the yacht to come forward and help with their case.

'The MailOnline article was crucial as it meant a key witness could come forward and help us cross-examine the captain,' she said. 

During the seven-hour long inquest, Mrs Hanlon said her son had worked two night  shifts immediately before his death.

The boat was sailing from the Caribbean across the Atlantic to the seaside town of Antibes and Mr Hanlon had only slept for around two hours before being woken to prepare the yacht for arrival, the hearing was told.

CCTV footage showed Mr Hanlon returning to the boat alone after meeting friends at around 11.30pm

It was intended to go on to collect Catherine Zeta-Jones and her husband Michael Douglas before taking them the short distance to Cannes Film Festival.

'I understand that the boat has to be pristine on arrival but that cannot be at the cost of your crew,' said Mrs Hanlon.

Captain Lars van Dinther came under questioning from Mr Hanlon's father about the protocol for keeping records of crew member's rest hours

Mr Stroll made his fortune by backing clothing designer Tommy Hilfiger and later buying a majority stake in fashion house Michael Kors.

The father-of-two has an estimated net worth of £1.57billion and collects Ferraris.

In 2013 he paid a record £17million for a rare 1967 Ferrari 275 and in September 2014 there were reports that Mr Stroll was about to acquire the Sauber F1 team. 

Captain Lars van Dinther came under questioning from Mr Hanlon's father Bob about the protocol for keeping records of crew member's work and rest hours.

The skipper admitted he was unaware of the hours that Mr Hanlon had worked in the week before he died but added: 'I have no concerns over the procedure on getting on the boat at night.'

He said there was a coded locker with a spare key to gain entry and that crew members can also ring a bell, wake up the captain or watch officer or wait at the crew door for another member to let him in.

'The door on the upper deck would have been a poor choice and wasn't an agreement I knew about,' said captain van Dinther.

The hearing was shown CCTV footage from the marina, known as Millionaire's Quay.

Exhausted from a gruelling work schedule, it showed Mr Hanlon returning to the boat alone after meeting friends at around 11.30pm on Saturday April 6.

However the boat was locked and he was seen to be walking around the decks for around 45 minutes.

A statement was read out from the watchman who said all doors were locked at 10pm.

The exact circumstances as to how he ended up in the water are unclear but the family believe he fell while trying to climb up to a door on the sun deck which was 'common knowledge' among the crew.

The accident happened in the early hours of the following morning. His body was discovered by divers on Monday afternoon.

Mrs Hanlon claimed the family felt manipulated by the French authorities to agree a version of events to allow his body to be released.

'They suggested he had gone and sat on top of the deck to have a cigarette, was tired and had fallen in,' she said. 

'That was the line of enquiry they wanted us to follow. If we didn't go along with that version we wouldn't be allowed to fly him home.

'We would have agreed to anything because we were in such a state of shock.'

She said it was not until an autopsy showed injuries to his hand that the family became convinced he was awake when he fell and had tried to soften the fall.

Crucial footage of a fisherman who it is believed heard a splash was not released for the inquest despite attempts to gain the footage from the coroner's office.

Mr Sharpe added the investigation was limited because he was in the hands of the French authorities.

'It is likely that tiredness did contribute to the fall whether that be failing to appreciate the danger he was in or took a false step at some point,' he said.

'There are many other matters which would have meant Michael was still alive today. If he had a key, if there was a night-watchman, if he had returned with another crew member.'

A video was shown to the court of Mr Hanlon's love of life and Mrs Hanlon described him as 'funny, witty and a charmer.'

'We saw him grow from our bouncy little boy into a responsible young chap with a lot of skills and technical ability and responsibility,' she said.

The talented sailor was working on the luxury vessel as part of his degree with the UK Sailing Academy (UKSA).

Since his death, tens of thousands of pounds has been raised in Mr Hanlon's memory to fund scholarships at UKSA.

Inside the shocking Sicily yacht tragedy that left 7 people dead

There was a violent storm, but even then, luxury yachts are built to weather such events. so why did this boat sink off the coast of sicily, leaving seven people dead, by natalie finn | e news • published august 24, 2024 • updated on august 24, 2024 at 10:34 am.

But what was supposed to be a routine pleasure cruise aboard a superyacht turned deadly all the same on the morning of Aug. 19 when the 184-foot Bayesian got caught in a storm and sank off the coast of Sicily .

"I can't remember the last time I read about a vessel going down quickly like that," Stephen Richter of SAR Marine Consulting told NBC News . "You know, completely capsizing and going down that quickly, a vessel of that nature, a yacht of that size."

Of the 22 people onboard, including crew, seven people died. The last of the bodies was recovered Aug. 23, an expectedly sad coda to what had already been a tragic week as the search for answers as to how this happened got underway.

And to be sure, every minute of the Bayesian's ill-fated outing is being fiercely scrutinized, starting with the general seaworthiness of the vessel itself.

Because, frankly, this was a freak occurrence.

"Boats of this size, they’re taking passengers on an excursion or a holiday," Richter explained. "They are not going to put them in situations where it may be dangerous or it may be uncomfortable, so this storm that popped up was obviously an anomaly. These vessels that carry passengers, they’re typically very well-maintained, very well-appointed."

But in this case, a $40 million yacht sank, seven people are dead—including a billionaire tech mogul and his 18-year-old daughter—and morbid fascination doesn't need a second wind.

Here is how the story of the Sicily yacht tragedy has unfolded so far:

What happened to the yacht that sank off the coast of Sicily?

The Bayesian had set off from the Sicilian port of Milazzo on Aug. 14 at capacity with 12 guests and 10 crewmembers aboard.

The aluminum-hulled vessel was built in 2008 by Italian shipbuilder Perini Navi and registered in the U.K. Cruise sites listed it as available for charter at $215,000 per week, per the Associated Press.

On the morning of Aug. 19, the superyacht was anchored off the coast of Porticello, a small fishing village in the Sicilian province of Palermo (also the name of Sicily's capital city), when a violent storm hit.

The vessel "suddenly sank" at around 5 a.m. local time, seemingly due to "the terrible weather conditions," the City Council of Bagheria announced shortly afterward, per NBC News .

At the time, only one person was confirmed dead—the ship's chef—but six others were said to be missing. The 15 survivors—who managed to make it onto an inflatable life boat, according to emergency officials—were rescued that morning by the crew of another yacht that had been nearby when the storm hit.

"Fifteen people inside," Karsten Borner, the Dutch captain of the ship that was able to help (the Sir Robert Baden Powell), told reporters afterward, per Reuters. "Four people were injured, three heavily injured, and we brought them to our ship. Then we communicated with the coast guard, and after some time, the coast guard came and later picked up injured people."

When the storm hit, his boat ran into "a strong hurricane gust," Borner said, "and we had to start the engine to keep the ship in an angled position."

They "managed to keep the ship in position," he continued, but once the storm died down, they realized the other boat that had been behind them—the Bayesian—was gone.

The wreck ended up settling 165 feet below the surface, according to Italy's national fire department.

Fire officials said that divers, a motorboat and a helicopter were deployed to search for the missing.

Meanwhile, footage was captured of the ship capsizing on closed-circuit TV about a half-mile away from where it was anchored.

In the video obtained by NBC News, the illuminated 250-foot aluminum mast of the ship appears to list severely to one side before disappearing completely. Survivors recalled having just a few minutes to literally abandon ship.

Who were the seven people who died when the yacht Bayesian sank?

The tragedy initially became headline news because billionaire tech mogul Mike Lynch—"Britain's Bill Gates," some U.K. media called him—was among the missing. His body was ultimately recovered Aug. 22 .

"They told me that suddenly they found themselves catapulted into the water without even understanding how they had got there," Dr. Fabio Genco, head of the Palermo Emergency Medical Services, told NBC News Aug. 22. "And that the whole thing seems to have lasted from 3 to 5 minutes."

Genco said he got to Porticello about an hour after the Bayesian capsized.

Survivors "told me that it was all dark, that the yacht hoisted itself up and then went down," he said. "All the objects were falling on them. That’s why I immediately made sure, by asking them questions, if they had any internal injuries."

Why did the yacht sink?

Italian prosecutors are investigating to determine what transpired before the boat went down, according to NBC News.

Meanwhile, the CEO of shipbuilder Perini's parent company The Italian Sea Group defended the vessel itself as "unsinkable."

Perini boats "are the safest in the most absolute sense," Giovanni Costantino told Sky News Aug. 22 . What happened to the Bayesian "put me in a state of sadness on one side and of disbelief on the other," he continued. "This incident sounds like an unbelievable story, both technically and as a fact."

Costantino said it had to have been human error that led to the boat sinking, declaring, "Mistakes were made."

"Everything that was done reveals a very long summation of errors," he told newspaper Corriere della Sera Aug. 21, in an interview translated from Italian. "The people should not have been in the cabins, the boat should not have been at anchor."

The weather was "all predictable," he continued, adding that the storm "was fully legible in all the weather charts. It couldn't have been ignored."

The yacht's captain, identified as James Cutfield of New Zealand, was taken to Termini Imerese hospital for treatment. From there, he told La Repubblica, per Sky News , that he didn't see the storm coming.

Borner, the captain of the ship that rescued the 15 Bayesian survivors, told NBC News that he noticed the storm come in at 4 a.m. local time, and saw what looked to him like a waterspout, a type of tornado that forms above water.

The International Centre for Waterspout Research posted on X Aug. 19 that it had "confirmed 18 waterspouts today off the coasts of Italy. Some were powerful waterspouts, one of which may have been responsible for the sinking of a large yacht off of Sicily."

Borner said he didn't know why the Bayesian sank so quickly, guessing "it may have something to do with the mast, which was incredibly long." (A tall mast, even with its sails down, means there's more surface area exposed to wind, which can result in tipping.)

Confirming that one person was dead and six unaccounted for immediately following the wreck on Aug. 19, Salvo Cocina of Sicily's civil protection agency told reporters that a waterspout had struck the area overnight.

"They were in the wrong place at the wrong time," he said.

The 59-year-old founder of software firm Autonomy had been on the trip with his wife Angela Bacares and their 18-year-old, Oxford-bound daughter Hannah to celebrate his recent acquittal in the U.S. on fraud and conspiracy charges stemming from the $11.7 billion purchase of his company by Hewlett-Packard in 2011.

In a bizarre turn of events, Lynch's co-defendant at trial, Stephen Chamberlain, the former vice president of finance at Autonomy, died after being taken off life support following a road accident on Aug. 17. Chamberlain's attorney told Reuters Aug. 20 that his friend and client had been out for a run when he was "fatally struck" by a car.

Meanwhile, multiple people who contributed to Lynch's defense were on the cruise with him and his family.

The bodies of Morgan Stanley International Chairman Jonathan Bloomer—who testified on Lynch's behalf—and his wife Judy Bloomer, as well as lawyer Chris Morvillo, a partner at the U.S. firm Clifford Chance, and his wife Neda Morvillo, a jewelry designer, were recovered on Aug. 21 .

In a LinkedIn post thanking the team that successfully defended Lynch, Morvillo wrote, per Sky News , "And, finally, a huge thank you to my patient and incredible wife, Neda Morvillo, and my two strong, brilliant, and beautiful daughters, Sabrina Morvillo and Sophia Morvillo. None of this would have been possible without your love and support. I am so glad to be home. And they all lived happily ever after…"

The first casualty confirmed Aug. 19 was the ship's Canadian-Antiguan chef, later identified as Recaldo Thomas.

"He was a one-of-a-kind special human being," a friend of Thomas told The Independent . "Incredibly talented, contagious smile and laugh, an incredible voice with a deep love of the ocean and the moon. I spoke to him nearly every day. He loved his life his friends and his job."

Hannah's body was the last of the missing six to be found , with divers bringing her remains ashore on Aug. 23.

Lynch and Bacares, who was rescued, also shared a 21-year-old daughter, according to The Times.

While awaiting trial, Lynch—who maintained his innocence throughout the proceedings—had spent 13 months under house arrest in San Francisco. Back home in London afterward, he admitted to The Times in July that he'd been afraid of dying in prison if he'd been found guilty. (He faced a possible 25-year sentence.)

"It's bizarre, but now you have a second life," he reflected. "The question is, what do you want to do with it?"

FAITH Yacht – Impeccable $200 M Superyacht

Delivered in 2017, FAITH yacht has a length of 96.55 meters (316.77 ft) and is currently ranked 59th on the list of largest yachts in the world.

She was built by the Dutch shipyard Feadship , which is a leading builder of high-end customised luxury yachts. FAITH was voted the best motor yacht in the world in 2018.

FAITH yacht interior

The mega yacht FAITH was designed by Redman Whiteley Dixon (RWD), a British design firm in collaboration with Chahan Interior Design, another well-known name in yachts and real estate design. Up to 18 guests can be accommodated in nine luxurious state-of-the-art suites in addition to a crew of 32. The private owner’s deck has an indoor and outdoor fireplace and a large lounge with a home theatre.

All other guest cabins are located on the main deck with two VIP suites and four spacious double cabins.

FAITH also features a beach club, a fitness room on the sundeck, an indoor and outdoor cinema, a wine cellar, a beautiful wellness area, and an elevator between the main decks.

FAITH yacht specifications

The 96.55 meters (316.77 ft) long superyacht FAITH has a beam of 14.5 meters (47.57 ft) and a volume of just under 3,000 tons.

With her two MTU diesel engines, FAITH reaches top speeds of 17 knots and an average cruising speed of 15 knots, allowing her to reach destinations up to 5,000 nautical miles away. Currently, FAITH sails under the flag of the Cayman Islands.

FAITH yacht exterior

The exterior of FAITH is all-white with a sleek and modern design. The yacht includes a wood-fired pizza oven, a charcoal grill on the sundeck, a helipad, as well as a large 9×4 meter swimming pool with a glass bottom and waterfall.

There are also two 10-meter tenders and a water ski boat along with plenty of toys, such as a flyboard, a slide, jet skis, sea bobs, kayaks, and many more to entertain guests.

FAITH yacht price

Lawrence Stroll is believed to have paid a price of US $200 million for FAITH. The annual running costs amount to US $15 to 20 million dollars depending on use.

FAITH is currently not for sale, however, she is available for charter on a weekly basis.

Depending on the season, weekly charter costs range from US $1.2 million to $1.5 million, not including any additional charges.

While some might consider this a downgrade in terms of size, it is important to note that 80 meters offers a heightened level of convenience and versatility when it comes to exploring various yachting destinations.

By opting for this size, Lawrence Stroll ensures that his new yacht can navigate a wide range of captivating locations with ease, providing an extraordinary yachting experience for himself and his guests.

Manage Your Subscription Give a Gift Subscription Newsletters Sweepstakes Human Interest Real People Real People Tragedy Everything We Know About the Final Moments of the Passengers Who Died in the Sicily Yacht Tragedy Five of the seven victims had been "searching for air pockets" as the luxury yacht sank on Aug. 19, authorities said PERINI NAVI PRESS OFFICE/HANDOUT/EPA-EFE/Shutterstock The luxury yacht Bayesian that sank off the coast of Sicily on Monday, Aug. 19, resulted in the deaths of six passengers and one crew member. Less than a week later, on Saturday, Aug. 24, Ambrogio Cartosio, the Chief Prosecutor of Termini Imerese, announced that Italian authorities were launching a manslaughter investigation into the sinking , and he identified all of the victims. The seven victims who died in the tragic sinking were yacht chef Recaldo Thomas; British tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch and his daughter, Hannah Lynch; Christopher Morvillo and his wife, Neda ; and Morgan Stanley International chairman Jonathan Bloomer and his wife, Judy . As authorities attempt to answer questions about what exactly led to the sinking of the 183-foot British-flagged vessel — which went down during a "violent storm,” the Italian Coast Guard previously told PEOPLE in a statement — here is what we currently know about the victims’ final moments. FAMILY HANDOUT/EPA-EFE/Shutterstock During the Aug. 24 press conference, Girolamo Bentivoglio Fiandra, head of the Palermo Fire Brigade, revealed that as the Bayesian began going down early Monday morning, “It was quite clear that people were trying to hide in the cabins.” “In the left-hand side, we found the first 5 bodies in the left-hand side cabins, and the final body on the right-hand side,” Fiandra said. “We found them on the highest part of the ship, which was closer to the surface. The vessel had three cabins on each side.” The five victims, who "took refuge” on the luxury yacht’s left side, had been "searching for air pockets" in a final attempt at survival," he added. HANDOUT/Vigili del Fuoco/AFP via Getty As for why the victims were in the cabins in the first place, Giovanni Costantino — who leads The Italian Sea Group, the company that now owns Perini Navi, which built the Bayesian back in 2008 — told CNN it was due to a “very long sum of errors." "Everything that has been done reveals a very long sum of errors,” he said in his interview, translated from Italian. “The people should not have been in the cabins, the boat should not have been at anchor. And then why didn't the crew know about the incoming disturbance?” Never miss a story — sign up for PEOPLE's free daily newsletter to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer​​, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Prior to the storm and subsequent sinking, some of the luxury yacht’s passengers were in celebration mode. They had been commemorating the recent acquittal of one of the victims, Lynch, 59, a source close to the survivors previously told PEOPLE. Two months ago, Lynch was acquitted on all counts of a series of fraud and conspiracy charges he faced in the U.S. after a years-long legal battle dating back to 2018. Patrick McMullan/Patrick McMullan via Getty  He celebrated the acquittal on the Bayesian with his daughter and his wife, Angela Bacare, who was rescued along with 14 others on board. Also celebrating were Morvillo, 59, who represented Lynch in the case, and Bloomer, 70, who was a close friend of the tech entrepreneur.
