    Yogi was a $40 million dollar SuperYacht that was delivered in 2011 but sank less than a year later. Let's take a look at what happened and why things may not be all they seem.

I think you want to attack the waves either head on, or maybe a few degrees off from head on. Stern facing the waves I think also leads to bad things. Obviously...

    Strange how they kept going at 60% power although the engines were overheating. What were the engineers doing in the engine room? Sleeping?
    And when the first engine quit due to sustained overheating, the logical thing to do was to throttle back the remaining engine to prevent that one from overheating. Especially in severe weather conditions you don't want to be without working engines, because that is a virtual death sentence for your ship. Yet they kept the second engine at a high power setting until also quit due to overheating. It doesn't compute.

    • @majortwit

    Interesting enough, why was chief engineer Laurent Clement, who had very little experience aboard Yogi (one and a half months at most prior to the sinking), why was he offered a Captain's job in the charter industry so soon after said accident? With hugely deep pockets and many reputations at stake (the shipyard, insurers, the owner, et al.) this stinks of a coverup and payoffs. Somebody got away with something.

    I had to attend several safety trainings at work and what I remember is that a disaster seldom happens from one reason alone. Usually, multiple factors contribute to an accident or disaster if equipment failures and human errors happen in a certain sequence. When inspected in isolation, individual vulnerabilities may not be easily detectable, which may lead to a total failure if the conditions are right. After all, everybody thought that Titanic was unsinkable too. If it was deliberate, then it must have been planned well, to meet all the conditions to sink the boat and make it look like plausible to satisfy the inspectors. Putting lives at risk, of both the crew and rescue personnel would be also very sinister. It’s a curious event indeed.

      The official accident report assigned no blame to any of the crew,though it appears there was plenty of blame to go around.I tend to agree,it was probably insurance fraud,and a conspiracy by the crew to keep quiet about the actual events.Probably never know what really happened.One of the owners of the yard,committed suicide over the loss of the yacht.

    Insuring the vessel without requireing a VDR was a serious oversight on the insurance companys part. Requireing a $2k to $3K device on a $3.5 million vessel would be a perfectally reasonable requirement from the insurance company. As well as video of the engine and operational areas of the ship and bridge voice recordings.

      Not just yachts. Most ships avoid sailing in very bad weather, but that requires a good master who will resist commercial pressure. The master must be prepared to pack his bags just in case though.

    • @Cdr_Mansfield_Cumming
      @Cdr_Mansfield_Cumming 4 года назад

      Hold on, this was a 48m boat, built to the latest spec. Plus, the sea state was only 7 in the Med. If he had pulled in to a weather harbour, I would question his ability (as it turns out, it needs questioning anyway). The staff clearly had no training, The French MV Flag Certs are about as good a Liberia or Panama.
      The Turks usually put together good ships and this was the second in its class, not the first. Therefore the shipyard would have ironed the kinks out on the first ship. As for this ship, the loss of power will make you feel like you are on a bobbing cork, yet the 1st Officer said he still had his trusters to put her Bow to the waves, his bow thrusters we're working, the ship was built with stablisers and a bow plane.
      You only have to look at the issues in the world where the upper was Greek or Turkish. Both are fond of abandoning ship at a whim.

    • @2btpatch
      @2btpatch 4 года назад +1

      Not every storm is correctly forecast for its severity. And if you are in open ocean there may be no time or opportunity to run for shelter. Weather can blow up pretty quick. If wave and wind action is very heavy it's best to point the bow into the wind. I don't understand how this vessel ended up stern into the wave direction. Usually if you lose power the boat drifts broadside to the wind.

  • @josephblansjaar5871
    @josephblansjaar5871 4 года назад

    I share the initial points raised. I am an expert as a Seaman Officer and Master Mariner. The vessel should have reduced speed in heavy weather. The crew, prior to departure appear not to have had damage control training nor an understanding of the onboard redundant systems. The potential for the loss of cooling water to the engines is intriguing and might be traced back to a design flaw if the cooling system is sucking air instead of water. This later again brings into focus the importance of keeping as much of the hull buoyed by the sea rather than pitching out of the water. I look forward to part 2.
