A Times investigation has found that an unusually tall mast, and the design changes it required, made a superyacht owned by a British tech mogul vulnerable to capsizing.
I don’t know. I feel like the prior for putting tech billionaires on massive single-masted yachts with high waterlines and low air vents is still pretty positive. This is only one bad voyage; consider how many trips provide evidence that this is a good plan.
Much like Titan, which had several successful voyages to the Titanic that other billionaires should seek to emulate by using the exact same sorta-procen design and construction that Titan did.
Still think this is a bit expensive, both on cost and collateral damage. Popularizing being your own helicopter pilot among the mega rich is a tried and true tactic.
Some innocent people died so it’s sad stuff, but I can’t get past the fact that they named a top heavy weirdly balanced yacht the Bayesian.
Well on the bright side naval engineers will be able to update their
driverspriors after this perfectly engineered unsinkable sink sa–Oh.
