Surprised there’s no thread on this yet. Any news?

They seem to be updating it regularly now. The second link from superyacht times is better than the first one I saw

Terrible, at night the would likely not even have seen what was heading for them.

Surprising that she capsized due to the mast coming down.
They were at anchor at night, no sails up. Wonder if the Genoa unfurled prior to the dismasting. The weight of the mast hanging over the side must have rolled her then? Speculation, will be interesting to see the MCA investigation on this one.


Terrifying, we are still in Ponza (way north of Sicily, close to Rome) and had two big water spouts pass about 2nm south of us yesterday afternoon. Thankfully no casualties over here.
