So let me get this straight, two people owned a business that they sold to Hewlett-Packard for £8.6 billion. Hewlett-Packard ended up losing £5.5 billion on the deal. This was investigated by the UK serious fraud office for 3 years before ending the investigation due to lack of evidence. Both were the extradited to US where they stood trail and after 11 weeks were found not guilty. This happened in June 2024 and by August 21st 2024 both are dead, one in a freak accident and the other in car accident. 😮😮😮😮 Suppose it happens, just like that prison cell where all the cameras stopped working and all the guards fell to sleep at the time a certain Islander owner committed suicide.
Does anyone know the name of the poor chef who died ? I know he wasn't a millionaire, but his death was while serving his rich bosses he should be dignified by announcing his identity at least.
What’s crazy is this guy and his co founder who successfully won a multi billion dollar lawsuit in America against huge companies happen to die suddenly and tragically within days of each other, including his legal representative. Now it could just be a coincidence.
yep both from the autonomy sale to hp case, billions of dollars case over alleged false accounting. its almost like some investors who lost a shed ton of money decided to accident them.
The Titanic had a number of important figures on board, vehemently opposed to the creation of the Federal Reserve who were on their way to America specifically to make sure it was stopped.

If the vessel did indeed take a hit from a "waterspout" then it is not difficult to understand why it went down. A waterspout is a tornado! As a person that grew up in "tornado alley" in Texas I have seen first hand the complete devastation even a small tornado can do. Wrong place wrong time and all this "shouldn't have happened" is utter nonsense.
Was it a waterspout? It looks possible. Certainly a waterspout is much MORE destructive than a tornado is on land. Water is 830 times denser than air. Moreover, the proportion of water to air in the rotating column is almost 100% at the bottom, where it connects to the sea. If a waterspout did this, then that yacht was effectively being pelted by sledgehammers. It is a miracle anybody escaped, and no surprise that those in their cabins did not.
@@infiniteinfantfinite may I ask? Does a tornado at sea cause a whirlpool effect...like a draining effect like water from a sink and pulling a vessel down? I am curious. Again , it might be erroneous reporting, .but it was said that this was the only vessel lost. You cannot trust the media.

I watched a tv programme many years ago about super yachts and one owner asked the interviewer if they knew the definition of a super yacht. The interviewer said 'no'. The owner replied, a 'a hole in the ocean you pour money into'. I reckon this owner found the hole. As for the headline, if you make a big enough hole in or fill with enough water, any floating vessel will sink. You don't need to be clever to work that one out. It is also estimated that 38 'large' ships go missing each year. Things sink every other week without trace.
I’ve heard the boat has a lifting keel. If the keel was up it wouldn’t be quite as able to resist wind loading on the mast. It would have been less able to resist being knocked down IF all the hatches were open on a hot night it would have allowed more water in than normal during a knock down This is all speculation of course. Lots of ‘ifs’
@@boogboog8097 They were anchored in much shallower water, closer inshore - in fact I believe they had initially tried to get into the port, but there wasn't enough room for them. When the storm struck, the anchor dragged until the boat was in deeper water offshore.
At anchor, keel up to prevent fouling the chain. Cctv shows the boat and mast lit up like a Christmas tree, one minute later it has disappeared. If it was knocked flat by the storm it never came back upright but went straight under.
It's a simple explanation...It was a very hot night, the crew would have innocently open port holes, hatches, doors etc. to get a pleasant cooling thru' breeze throughout the vessel & as it is such a low-profile vessel, it was swamped with storm seawater.
Thank goodness you have Stewart Campbell speaking & I agree - why?

Who was aquitted, and whose co defendant, also aquitted was killed violently over the weekend Stephen Chamberlain was joggin when he got hit by a driver on Saturday, and died of his injuries on Monday.
@@daftgowk1 I don't know if you've been hit by a car, but yes, it's generally violent. The fact that he died of injuries sutained kind of demonstrates that - it's why road safety groups refer to "road violence" as a public health concern. Looks like you got a bit triggered.
It's funny how I'm sure Mike L. knew his friend/co-defendent died in a weird accident and he still believed he would be safe in his super yacht at night, during a storm and nothing could come for him. These people do surprise me in their reasoning
> "If the mast is intact that makes no sense.". Nonsense. Every meter of the mast increases the leverage that wind has to lay the boat flat - regardless of whether it snaps. The leverage increases exponentially with height - double the height of mast is 4x the leverage that the wind can use to lay it flat.
This yacht was designed with a lifting keel. It would be lowered for sailing and raised for entering port. If the keel was in the raised position while still under sail it could cause stability problems. It all depends on what position the lift keel was in at the time of the accident.
Maybe someone wanted to disappear not 1st time someone has sunk their boat and disappeared with all the peoples pensions and a new identity…& everyone swears they disappeared at sea
Does nobody else find it strange that the other guy who was up on three fraud charges died while out jogging on Saturday after being hit by a car? I mean suspicious isn't the word lol
Both men were acquitted of the fraud charges (which does not mean they were actually innocent). But there is no doubt that it's strange they both died in accidents this week. They sold their company to HP for $11 billion, years ago, and HP had to write down the investment by more than $8 billion when it turned out there were financial misreprentations, if not fraud, in the accounting statements.
Arrogance and vanity sunk this boat, the weather was just contributory. For those who commission luxury yachts and demand for vanity's sake that it has "the tallest mast in the world" without realising what that means for the stability of your expensive yacht - learn this lesson, don't do it. Money doesn't make you a superyacht designer.
It's one of those strange weather phenomenon, happens extremely rarely, such a sad loss of life, my heart goes out to all the families and friends involved
Why is no one talking about the fact that the boat was run aground by accident recently? This could have compromised the hull. But no one has mentioned this.
There are reports the ship has a lift keel which may have been in the raised position. The yacht would be quite stable in calm seas at anchor but high winds against the mast at anchor would have made the yacht unstable.
The real debate should be did this happen to distract from other events or were the people onboard opposed to globalism? That’s the level of cynicism we’re at.
I've read about a theory that the yacht had a retractable keel that was retracted to reduce the vessel's draught and make the vessel very unstable in this sort of weather.
The youtuber eSysman says that the keel on that particular boat can be raise up and that would raise the centre of gravity dramatically. esysman said that the draft with the keel down was 10 meters, so in that depth of water it doesn't make sense why they would raise the keel.
They were anchored much closer inshore - in fact I believe they had initially tried to get into the port, but there wasn't enough room for them. When the storm struck, the anchor dragged until the boat was in deeper water offshore.
Imagine caring more about rich snobs on super yachts and not our own people suffering, homeless, sick, dying… no let’s focus on the rich. This world is done.
It’s simple. It was hit by a tornado, very high mast would have helped to tip it over if the tornado struck that directly. Once it’s over would have taken on water and down it went.
@@scotsman9755 You think a water spout occurred with no record of it from meteorogical tracking, coastguard, other vessels, communities etc?? You clearly do or at least you WANT to... so you will be able to 'prove it' wasn't a water spout. Please explain.
Not so. Anyone who can afford a superyacht is going to be very, very careful about their own safety. Companies who build and sell superyachts are building safe, reliable vessels. It's their business and their reputation.
It had a raisable keel that apparently was raised at the time while at anchor so talking about the keel has no bearing. With the keel raised the centre of gravity is a lot higher than the hull due to the huge mast.
OK lets go through an idea of mine. Large yachts have entry ports and tail docks to allow the passengers easy exit and entrance to the yacht and getting out of boats used to tranport the passengers to and fro the yacht to land. So if the boat is at anchor it could well be at this state with large ports left open. If storm really did cause the the yacht to heel right over to the gunwhales then there is a likihood the water could easiliy enter the boat by these ports and then quickly fill up the boat till the point that no buoyancy is left (sinking). Its a thought ???
I don’t understand why the divers only have 12 minutes of air ? Can someone explain that to me. Surely they can come up with something that increases this time frame.
When he bought that Superyacht, he was unfortunately under the misapprehension that it was so Super! that it could convert into a submarine, but apparently not. 😮
One question, about this super sailing yacht sinking, if this yacht is laying on the sea bottom at around 50 metres or 164 feet down. Will the Italian or British Maritime Authorities, or Italian Coast Guard, or British or Italian Marine Accident Ivestigation Branches, or the insurance providers for this yacht. Order and pay for a Salvage Recovery Operation, to lift the yacht to the surface? Then place the yacht wreckage, on to a semi-submersible barge or transport vessel, for out of the water inspection. Or maybe to transport the yacht wreckage, to either a local and suitable port or harbour, or into a Dry Dock facility, or to crank the yacht wreckage on shore some where. So the British and Italian Maritime Authorities, or Italian Coast Guard, or British and Italian Marine Accident Branches, plus the Yacht Insurers and Yacht Builders. Can all inspect the yacht wreckage, or carryout a full criminal and marine investigation, Yes or NO? To find out once and for all, what happened? Then Afterwards, maybe even with the aim, of Salvaging the yacht and repairing her, to return her to the sea and sail her in the future, maybe under another name too? As leaving this yacht on the sea bed so close to shore, with fuel onboard etc, there is a risk or danger of pollution, whether now and into the coming weeks, months or years too. As no one has answer the following questions? One; Did the mast and rigging break, as claimed, also where did they break (at the top, in the middle or at the bottom?) too? Or did the rigging give way in the storm, causing the mast to give way? Or is the mast and riggers alll still in one piece, but badly damaged by the storm? Or has the mast and rigging taken damages or broken, from hitting the sea bottom after sinking too? As the hull will be damaged from taking on so much water and sinking through even a depth of 50 metres or just 164 feet. The yacht full of water, when it hit the sea bottom, will have hit at some speed and at a much heavier weight, so causing hull and superstructure extra damage too! So this sea bed impact could cause the mast to break or the rigging to break too. So is the mast and rigging both still attached to the yacht, now laying on the sea bed, Yes or No? Question Two, This Super Luxury Yacht is seems has a Variable Height or Depth Bladed Keel with bulbus bottom profile. Which can be automatically raised and lowered, to a maximum depth of 10 metres (or nearly 33 feet) below the hull it seems. These are used, to allow yachts of all sizes, to get into shallow water area, or into and out of ports, harbours and marinas etc. However, when in deep water, or when out sailing on the open ocean under full sails. The Variable Height or Depth Bladed Keel, will be fully deployed beneath the yacht hull! The question is, what position was this Variable Height or Depth Bladed Keel, instead the time the yacht was at anchor and then sunk too? Was it the upper position and no keel below the hull basically? But in this position, the yacht being hit with by just strong waves, let alone storm weather. The yacht would be riding very badly at anchor, causing everyone to have a sleepless night? Or Quarter Deployed (2.5 metres), or Half Deployed (5 metres), or Three-quarter Deployed (7.5 metres), or Fully Deployed (10 metres) below the hull? Or did the yacht loses its Variable Height or Depth Bladed Keel some how in this storm ? Making the yacht with mast, top heavy so it turn over on it side, because of the storm as a result? With the Variable Height or Depth Bladed Keel, falling or coming out of its housing shaft and from its winding-mechanised too. As these Variable Height or Depth Bladed Keels, can be lowered out of the hull bottom totally,p. For either maintenance and servicing plus for painting etc, or if the Variable Height or Depth Bladed Keel has been damaged, so needs repairing or being replaced by a new one too. So questions have to be answered, about the Variable Height or Depth Bladed Keel, plus let alone the mast and rigging too. This maybe why the yacht, will required to be Salvaged and recovery from the sea bed, to be brought ashore, for a full inspection!
We don't know but I suspect the water spout maybe lifted the boat and broke it's keel, snapping it in two, which would account for the rapid sinking. I've sailed over 10 000 miles and seen some bad weather along the way but this would seem the most likely explanation for such a rapid turn of events. Whatever happened was catastrophic and not merely leaving some ports open as has been suggested.

As a Regular member of the public even I can see how it’s not really that hard to sink ships….. why is everyone underestimating the power of the sea all a sudden? Have they forgotten
If the vessel took a knockdown and had their keel up they could have tipped past their righting angle. I can imagine that not many if any of the watertight doors on deck were dogged thus allowing the sea to rush in at a terrifying rate. Is not normally SOP to dog the watertight doors when lying at anchor. Especially on a vessel with the freeboard of that one.

LBC - Don't say British Tech Tycoon.. Say "British Tech Tycoon who was extradited to USA for fraud charges".
He was found innocent.....
Who was aquitted, and whose co defendant, also aquitted was killed violently over the weekend
Stephen Chamberlain was joggin when he got hit by a driver on Saturday, and died of his injuries on Monday.
@@bestbehavekilled violently, he was knocked over. Pushing conspiracy are you?
@@daftgowk1 I don't know if you've been hit by a car, but yes, it's generally violent. The fact that he died of injuries sutained kind of demonstrates that - it's why road safety groups refer to "road violence" as a public health concern.
Looks like you got a bit triggered.
He just won that case against Hewlett Packard. £7 billion and within 3 days him his business partner and lawyer are all dead....
It's funny how I'm sure Mike L. knew his friend/co-defendent died in a weird accident and he still believed he would be safe in his super yacht at night, during a storm and nothing could come for him. These people do surprise me in their reasoning
Sabotage. The hull was weakened beforehand.
Infront of 25 people?
> "If the mast is intact that makes no sense.".
Nonsense. Every meter of the mast increases the leverage that wind has to lay the boat flat - regardless of whether it snaps.
The leverage increases exponentially with height - double the height of mast is 4x the leverage that the wind can use to lay it flat.
Thank you, this makes sense.
This yacht was designed with a lifting keel. It would be lowered for sailing and raised for entering port. If the keel was in the raised position while still under sail it could cause stability problems. It all depends on what position the lift keel was in at the time of the accident.
Maybe someone wanted to disappear not 1st time someone has sunk their boat and disappeared with all the peoples pensions and a new identity…& everyone swears they disappeared at sea
😂
Every news article isn’t a conspiracy theory ffs.
@damianleah6744 ..but,,,,its very dodgy
Stay off Netflixs.. bodies have been recovered numpty😂
@@damianleah6744 true but most are these days with most government's being corrupt
Does nobody else find it strange that the other guy who was up on three fraud charges died while out jogging on Saturday after being hit by a car? I mean suspicious isn't the word lol
Both men were acquitted of the fraud charges (which does not mean they were actually innocent). But there is no doubt that it's strange they both died in accidents this week. They sold their company to HP for $11 billion, years ago, and HP had to write down the investment by more than $8 billion when it turned out there were financial misreprentations, if not fraud, in the accounting statements.
I know why. He was so rich he was always carrying golden bars in his pocket .
Arrogance and vanity sunk this boat, the weather was just contributory.
For those who commission luxury yachts and demand for vanity's sake that it has "the tallest mast in the world" without realising what that means for the stability of your expensive yacht - learn this lesson, don't do it. Money doesn't make you a superyacht designer.
It's one of those strange weather phenomenon, happens extremely rarely, such a sad loss of life, my heart goes out to all the families and friends involved
everyone who might have known something is gone, go figure
Why is no one talking about the fact that the boat was run aground by accident recently? This could have compromised the hull. But no one has mentioned this.
The fact that there is a super yacht community, shows there is something very wrong with the world.
And Phillip Green who destroyed BHS is one of them.
The moral of the story is and don't go on the yachts with rich people who have scammed other rich people.
There are reports the ship has a lift keel which may have been in the raised position. The yacht would be quite stable in calm seas at anchor but high winds against the mast at anchor would have made the yacht unstable.
The real debate should be did this happen to distract from other events or were the people onboard opposed to globalism? That’s the level of cynicism we’re at.
Bingo
Funny enough they were all globalists. You may need to come up with a deferent conspiracy
Dolt.
What about the hundreds of people who have drowned in the me this and the last few years
Obviously the work of reverse vampires and chemtrail aliens 😂😂😂
let's start a conspiracy about a tornado 🌪
I wouldn't be surprised if the Moon Lizards had a hand in it too.
@@1Goldie it was raining cats and dogs so...yeah.
I've read about a theory that the yacht had a retractable keel that was retracted to reduce the vessel's draught and make the vessel very unstable in this sort of weather.
It seems like the keel was retracted, the yacht was blown over, and probably the water poured in through the keel housing box section.
The youtuber eSysman says that the keel on that particular boat can be raise up and that would raise the centre of gravity dramatically. esysman said that the draft with the keel down was 10 meters, so in that depth of water it doesn't make sense why they would raise the keel.
They were anchored much closer inshore - in fact I believe they had initially tried to get into the port, but there wasn't enough room for them. When the storm struck, the anchor dragged until the boat was in deeper water offshore.
Depends in the sails were furled!
At the very least it is bizarre. If it was at sea, but in a harbour?
Billions lost seems a tad bit like a take out
Imagine caring more about rich snobs on super yachts and not our own people suffering, homeless, sick, dying… no let’s focus on the rich. This world is done.
It was a shark 🤣
It’s simple. It was hit by a tornado, very high mast would have helped to tip it over if the tornado struck that directly. Once it’s over would have taken on water and down it went.
nice conspiracy theory
The mast is intact, the unexplained rapid capsize and sinking did not occur due to a mast related issue.
In all my years as a baker I’ve never seen a super yacht sink like this.
I suspect the cause will be found to be too much water on board.
It was an assassination to silence him
Brilliant how the conspirators organised a water spout!
nobody has any proof of a water spout that's more of a conspiracy 😂
@liborsionko prove it was a water spout
@@liborsionkoif you believe that you’ll believe anything.
@@scotsman9755 You think a water spout occurred with no record of it from meteorogical tracking, coastguard, other vessels, communities etc??
You clearly do or at least you WANT to... so you will be able to 'prove it' wasn't a water spout. Please explain.
I’d guess that the kind of people who join the ‘super yacht community’ spend more money on Tax Lawyers than shipwrights
Not so. Anyone who can afford a superyacht is going to be very, very careful about their own safety.
Companies who build and sell superyachts are building safe, reliable vessels. It's their business and their reputation.
Don Corleone and horses heads appear to be the most common search online at the moment.
It had a raisable keel that apparently was raised at the time while at anchor so talking about the keel has no bearing. With the keel raised the centre of gravity is a lot higher than the hull due to the huge mast.
If this had been a group of working class guys on a day out we would not have had half of this coverage.
OK lets go through an idea of mine. Large yachts have entry ports and tail docks to allow the passengers easy exit and entrance to the yacht and getting out of boats used to tranport the passengers to and fro the yacht to land. So if the boat is at anchor it could well be at this state with large ports left open. If storm really did cause the the yacht to heel right over to the gunwhales then there is a likihood the water could easiliy enter the boat by these ports and then quickly fill up the boat till the point that no buoyancy is left (sinking). Its a thought ???
I don’t understand why the divers only have 12 minutes of air ? Can someone explain that to me. Surely they can come up with something that increases this time frame.
When he bought that Superyacht, he was unfortunately under the misapprehension that it was so Super! that it could convert into a submarine, but apparently not. 😮
Your videos are always so rewarding and enjoyable. Thank you for your work and talent!🎄🎬😊

One question, about this super sailing yacht sinking, if this yacht is laying on the sea bottom at around 50 metres or 164 feet down.
Will the Italian or British Maritime Authorities, or Italian Coast Guard, or British or Italian Marine Accident Ivestigation Branches, or the insurance providers for this yacht.
Order and pay for a Salvage Recovery Operation, to lift the yacht to the surface?
Then place the yacht wreckage, on to a semi-submersible barge or transport vessel, for out of the water inspection.
Or maybe to transport the yacht wreckage, to either a local and suitable port or harbour, or into a Dry Dock facility, or to crank the yacht wreckage on shore some where.
So the British and Italian Maritime Authorities, or Italian Coast Guard, or British and Italian Marine Accident Branches, plus the Yacht Insurers and Yacht Builders.
Can all inspect the yacht wreckage, or carryout a full criminal and marine investigation, Yes or NO?
To find out once and for all, what happened?
Then Afterwards, maybe even with the aim, of Salvaging the yacht and repairing her, to return her to the sea and sail her in the future, maybe under another name too?
As leaving this yacht on the sea bed so close to shore, with fuel onboard etc, there is a risk or danger of pollution, whether now and into the coming weeks, months or years too.
As no one has answer the following questions?
One; Did the mast and rigging break, as claimed, also where did they break (at the top, in the middle or at the bottom?) too?
Or did the rigging give way in the storm, causing the mast to give way?
Or is the mast and riggers alll still in one piece, but badly damaged by the storm?
Or has the mast and rigging taken damages or broken, from hitting the sea bottom after sinking too?
As the hull will be damaged from taking on so much water and sinking through even a depth of 50 metres or just 164 feet.
The yacht full of water, when it hit the sea bottom, will have hit at some speed and at a much heavier weight, so causing hull and superstructure extra damage too!
So this sea bed impact could cause the mast to break or the rigging to break too.
So is the mast and rigging both still attached to the yacht, now laying on the sea bed, Yes or No?
Question Two, This Super Luxury Yacht is seems has a Variable Height or Depth Bladed Keel with bulbus bottom profile.
Which can be automatically raised and lowered, to a maximum depth of 10 metres (or nearly 33 feet) below the hull it seems.
These are used, to allow yachts of all sizes, to get into shallow water area, or into and out of ports, harbours and marinas etc.
However, when in deep water, or when out sailing on the open ocean under full sails.
The Variable Height or Depth Bladed Keel, will be fully deployed beneath the yacht hull!
The question is, what position was this Variable Height or Depth Bladed Keel, instead the time the yacht was at anchor and then sunk too?
Was it the upper position and no keel below the hull basically?
But in this position, the yacht being hit with by just strong waves, let alone storm weather.
The yacht would be riding very badly at anchor, causing everyone to have a sleepless night?
Or Quarter Deployed (2.5 metres), or Half Deployed (5 metres), or Three-quarter Deployed (7.5 metres), or Fully Deployed (10 metres) below the hull?
Or did the yacht loses its Variable Height or Depth Bladed Keel some how in this storm ?
Making the yacht with mast, top heavy so it turn over on it side, because of the storm as a result?
With the Variable Height or Depth Bladed Keel, falling or coming out of its housing shaft and from its winding-mechanised too.
As these Variable Height or Depth Bladed Keels, can be lowered out of the hull bottom totally,p.
For either maintenance and servicing plus for painting etc, or if the Variable Height or Depth Bladed Keel has been damaged, so needs repairing or being replaced by a new one too.
So questions have to be answered, about the Variable Height or Depth Bladed Keel, plus let alone the mast and rigging too.
This maybe why the yacht, will required to be Salvaged and recovery from the sea bed, to be brought ashore, for a full inspection!
It is easy to sink a yacht with an oversized mast...too large to seek safe harbour...and facing adverse weather conditions.
At the very start of a storm? Really?! These huge yachts are SO badly made?!
I think the mast may have partially broke, pulling the boat over enough to flip and or flood the boat.
Saw another video taken from the shore boat wasn’t moving at all but then went straight down.
We don't know but I suspect the water spout maybe lifted the boat and broke it's keel, snapping it in two, which would account for the rapid sinking.
I've sailed over 10 000 miles and seen some bad weather along the way but this would seem the most likely explanation for such a rapid turn of events. Whatever happened was catastrophic and not merely leaving some ports open as has been suggested.
Murdered by the business mafia, the owner ripped off people for billions££ and his partner in crime/business was rubbed out a few days ago, he was cycling and a car with false plates ran him over, reversed back to see he was dead and sped off, that car was never traced but the plates belonged to another type of car and a different colour, then all the crew escape this and none of the passengers, even a baby belonging to a crew member made it off safe, rumours are the cabin doors were locked from the outside and divers unlocked them, we are talking billions££ not a million or two, BILLIONS££, no one is allowed to do that. . . this guy flew to close to the sun, Icarus is his nickname,
I don't believe anything of MSM but the little I _did_ read of the car-thing was that a lady remained at the location and was "assisting police"(?)
Space laser in retaliation.
After the mini sub disaster sight seeing the Titanic you would think rich people would "stay out of the water"!!!!
@@mikehunt.1609 since that submersible was crushed on its descent to the Titanic...with tragic loss of life...I haven't heard any further news..anyone got an update?
Its funny how his friend that was also in court was killed in a car crash
You'll probably find that hatches were open. Once it was on its side, water would flood in, sinking it quickly.
A weather weapon can sink anything
His best friend killed two days earlier in traffic incident….then this?
His business partner was also involved in the 7 billion £ court case which they just won, both dead within 72 hours!
Big big money people don't like to lose.
Im a man from a Glasgow council estate ,how do i lay my hands on a super yacht , I'll pay .🤔
Look in Argentina for the rich criminals.
As a Regular member of the public even I can see how it’s not really that hard to sink ships….. why is everyone underestimating the power of the sea all a sudden? Have they forgotten
Anchor watch is much more than watching the anchor.
Why were they in their cabins with the boat sinking.. That's strange
"No one can figure out how this happened." 🤔, sounds like suspicious circumstances to me.
The Keel: Have divers found it lowered or raised? This is the essence.
HP sause is where they should be looking, very experienced staff on this yacht
If the vessel took a knockdown and had their keel up they could have tipped past their righting angle. I can imagine that not many if any of the watertight doors on deck were dogged thus allowing the sea to rush in at a terrifying rate. Is not normally SOP to dog the watertight doors when lying at anchor. Especially on a vessel with the freeboard of that one.
