I highly recommend Doug Hughes. My husband and I just spent a very enjoyable 3.5 hours with him looking at sailboats. He is knowledgeable, kind, and patient. We are novices and haven't even started sailing lessons, but Doug never showed a hint of annoyance with our endless questions. Hubby and I are excited to continue the boat-buying process with this fine gentleman. 8.9 out of 10, per Tim.

I have bought and sold two boats with Doug over the past 4 years. Most patient and knowledgeable salesman I've ever met. He just wants to make sure everyone is happy. He apparently loves the business and even keeps a personal sailboat outside his back office door for when he able to slip out for a quick sail...

Video shows moments before superyacht went down in storm off Sicily

Newly released video captures a luxury superyacht being battered by a violent storm before it suddenly sank off Sicily with 22 people aboard Monday.

The grainy images obtained by NBC News and other outlets were recorded on closed-circuit television not far from where the Bayesian was anchored, about a half-mile from the port of Porticello, on Sicily’s northern coast .

The yacht's 250-foot mast, illuminated with lights and lashed by the storm, appears to bend to one side before it finally disappears and is replaced by darkness.

The speed with which a yacht built to handle the roughest seas capsized stunned maritime experts.  

“I can’t remember the last time I read about a vessel going down quickly like that, you know, completely capsizing and going down that quickly, a vessel of that nature, a yacht of that size,” said Stephen Richter of SAR Marine Consulting.

British tech tycoon Mike Lynch and five of the 22 other people who were aboard the 184-foot vessel remain unaccounted for and are believed to be trapped in the Bayesian’s hull, nearly 170 feet underwater.

Officials confirmed Monday that at least one person, the ship’s cook, had died.  

UK's vessel Bayesian

Superyachts like the Bayesian, which had been available for charters at a rate of $215,000 a week, are designed to stay afloat even as they are taking on water to give the people aboard a chance to escape, Richter said. 

“Boats of this size, they’re taking passengers on an excursion or a holiday,” Richter said. “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.”

Built by Italian shipbuilder Perini Navi in 2008, the U.K.-registered Bayesian could carry 12 guests and a crew of up to 10, according to online specialist yacht sites. Its nearly 250-foot mast is the tallest aluminum sailing mast in the world, according to CharterWorld Luxury Yacht Charters. 

On Tuesday, Italian rescue workers resumed the search for Lynch and the five other passengers still missing: Lynch’s 18-year-old daughter, Hannah; Morgan Stanley International Chairman Jonathan Bloomer and his wife; and Clifford Chance lawyer Chris Morvillo and his wife.

“The fear is that the bodies got trapped inside the vessel,” Salvatore Cocina, the head of civil protection in Sicily, told Reuters .

The Bayesian is owned by a firm linked to Lynch’s wife, Angela Bacares, who was one of the 15 people rescued Monday after it capsized.

“It’s extremely rare for a boat of this size to sink,” Richter said.

What’s not rare is the kind of storm that sank it , said Simon Boxall, senior lecturer in oceanography at Britain’s University of Southampton.

“People assume the Mediterranean is this rather calm and passive place that never gets storms and always blue skies,” Boxall said. “In fact, you get some quite horrendous storms that are not uncommon at this time of year.”

The president of Italy’s meteorological society has said Monday’s violent storm may have involved a waterspout, essentially a tornado over water, or a downburst, which occurs more frequently but doesn’t involve the rotation of the air.

Luca Mercalli, president of the Italian Meteorology Society, also said recent temperatures may have been a factor. 

“The sea surface temperature around Sicily was around 30 degrees Celsius [86 Fahrenheit], which is almost 3 degrees more than normal,” Mercalli told Reuters. “This creates an enormous source of energy that contributes to these storms.”

The Mediterranean sailing vacation was designed to be a celebration for Lynch, who two months ago was acquitted by a San Francisco jury of fraud charges stemming from the 2011 sale of his software company Autonomy to Hewlett-Packard for $11 billion.

Prosecutors alleged that Lynch, dubbed “Britain’s Bill Gates,” and Autonomy’s vice president for finance, Stephen Chamberlain, had padded the firm’s finances ahead of the sale. Lynch’s lawyers argued that HP was so eager to acquire Autonomy that it failed to adequately check the books .

Lynch had taken Morvill, who was one of his defense attorneys, on the luxury trip. 

Chamberlain was not on the Bayesian.

In what appears to be a tragic coincidence, a car struck and killed Chamberlain on Saturday as he was jogging in a village about 68 miles north of London, local police said.

“Steve fought successfully to clear his good name at trial earlier this year, and his good name now lives on through his wonderful family,” Chamberlain’s lawyer, Gary Lincenberg, said in a statement .

Questions for Investigators Trying to Unravel Mystery of Luxury Yacht’s Sinking

The investigators searching for answers about the shipwreck, leaving seven dead, face questions about extreme weather and possible human error or problems with the yacht itself.

  • Share full article

Two small boats with outboard motors make their way across the water.

By Alan Yuhas

More than 180 feet long, with a mast towering about 240 feet and a keel that could be lowered for greater stability, the Bayesian luxury yacht did not, in the eyes of its maker, have the vulnerabilities of a ship that would easily sink.

“It drives me insane,” Giovanni Costantino, the chief executive of the Italian Sea Group, which in 2022 bought the company that made the ship, said after its wreck last week. “Following all the proper procedures, that boat is unsinkable.”

But the $40 million sailing yacht sank within minutes and with fatal results: seven dead, including the British technology billionaire Michael Lynch, his teenage daughter, four of Mr. Lynch’s friends and a member of the crew. Fifteen people, including the captain, escaped on a lifeboat.

Mr. Lynch had invited family, friends and part of his legal team on a cruise in the Mediterranean to celebrate his acquittal in June of fraud charges tied to the sale of his company to the tech giant Hewlett-Packard.

The Italian authorities have opened a manslaughter investigation, searching for answers from the survivors, the manufacturer and the wreck itself. They face a range of questions and possible factors.

An ‘earthquake’ in the sky?

When the Bayesian sank around 4 a.m. on Aug. 19, the waters in its area, about half a mile off the Sicilian port of Porticello, were transformed by an extremely sudden and violent storm, according to fishermen, a captain in the area and meteorologists.

But what kind of storm is still a mystery, compounded by the fact that a sailing schooner anchored nearby did not have its own disaster. Also unclear is whether the crew was aware that the Italian authorities had issued general warnings about bad weather the night before.

Karsten Börner, the captain of the nearby passenger ship, said he’d had to steady his ship during “really violent” winds . During the storm, he said, the Bayesian seemed to disappear behind his ship.

Severe lightning and strong gusts were registered by the Italian Air Force’s Center for Aerospace Meteorology and Climatology, according to Attilio Di Diodato, its director. “It was very intense and brief in duration,” he said.

The yacht, he said, had most likely been hit by a fierce downburst — a blast of powerful wind surging down during a thunderstorm. His agency put out rough-sea warnings the previous evening, alerting sailors about possible storms.

Locals have said the winds “felt like an earthquake.” A fisherman in Porticello said that he had seen a flare go off in the early-morning hours. His brother ventured to the site once the weather had calmed about 20 minutes later, he said, finding only floating cushions.

The Italian authorities have so far declined to say whether investigators had seen any structural damage to the hull or other parts of the ship.

Open hatches or doors?

The boat executive, Mr. Costantino, has argued that the Bayesian was an extremely safe vessel that could list even to 75 degrees without capsizing. His company, the Italian Sea Group, in 2022 bought the yacht’s manufacturer, Perini Navi, which launched the ship in 2008.

Mr. Costantino said that if some of the hatches on the side and in the stern, or some of the deck doors, had been open, the boat could have taken on water and sunk. Standard procedure in such storms, he said, would be to switch on the engine, lift the anchor and turn the boat into the wind, lowering the keel for extra stability, closing doors and gathering the guests in the main hall inside the deck.

At a news conference on Saturday, almost a week after the sinking, investigators said the yacht had sunk at an angle , with its stern — where the heavy engine was — having gone down first. The wreck was found lying on its right side at the bottom of a bay, about 165 feet deep.

12 guests occupied the yacht’s six cabins. There were also 10 crew members.

Open hatches, doors and cabin windows could have let in water during a storm, according to the manufacturer.

By Veronica Penney

Water pouring into open hatches or doors could have contributed to the sinking, experts say, but that on its own may not account for the speed at which such a large boat vanished underwater.

Asked about the hatches at the news conference, the authorities declined to comment on whether they had been found open at the wreck.

The authorities have also not specified whether the boat had been anchored, whether it was under power at the time or whether its sails had been unfurled.

A retracted keel?

The Bayesian had a keel — the fin-like structure beneath a boat that can help stabilize it — that could be retracted or extended, according to its manufacturer. On some yachts, keels can be raised to let the large vessel dock in shallower water, and extended downward to help keep a boat level.

But like the hatches, the status of the keel alone may not explain why a large ship sank with such precipitous speed. Investigators have not disclosed what divers may have seen at the wreck, aside from saying divers had faced obstacles like furnishings and electrical wiring in tight quarters. Officials want to raise the wreck to better examine it, a process that may take weeks.

Human error?

Ambrogio Cartosio, the prosecutor in charge of the case, said at the news conference that it was “plausible” crimes had been committed, but that investigators had not zeroed in on any potential suspects.

“There could be responsibilities of the captain only,” he said. “There could be responsibilities of the whole crew. There could be responsibilities of the boat makers. Or there could be responsibilities of those who were in charge of surveilling the boat.”

It remains unclear what kind of emergency training or preparation took place before the disaster, or what kind of coordination there was during it. So far, none of the surviving crew members have made a public statement about what happened the night the ship sank.

Prosecutors said they want to ask more questions of the captain and crew, who have been in a Sicilian hotel with other survivors. They said that neither alcohol nor drug tests had been performed on crew members, and that they have been allowed to leave Italy.

Prosecutors also said they were also investigating why the captain, an experienced sailor, left the sinking boat while some passengers were still on board.

Besides possible manslaughter charges, the authorities are investigating the possibility of a negligently caused shipwreck.

The bodies of five passengers were found in one cabin, on the left side of the yacht, the authorities said. The five were most likely trying to flee to the higher side of the boat and were probably sleeping when the boat started to sink, they said.

Yemen's Houthis Will Let Salvage Crews Access Oil Tanker They Set Ablaze in Red Sea

Yemen's Houthis Will Let Salvage Crews Access Oil Tanker They Set Ablaze in Red Sea

By Michelle Nichols and Mohamed Ghobari

UNITED NATIONS/ADEN (Reuters) - Yemen's Houthi group has agreed to allow tugboats and rescue ships to reach a damaged crude oil tanker in the Red Sea, Iran's mission to the United Nations said on Wednesday, after the Iran-aligned militants attacked the Greek-flagged vessel last week.

The Sounion tanker is carrying 150,000 tonnes, or 1 million barrels, of crude oil and poses an environmental hazard, shipping officials said. Any spill has the potential to be among the largest from a ship in recorded history.

"Several countries have reached out to ask Ansarullah (the Houthis), requesting a temporary truce for the entry of tugboats and rescue ships into the incident area," Iran's U.N. mission in New York said.

"In consideration of humanitarian and environmental concerns, Ansarullah has consented to this request," it said.

Yemen's Houthis spokesperson Mohammed Abdulsalam told Reuters on Wednesday there is no temporary truce and the group only agreed to allow the towing of oil tanker Sounion after several international parties contacted the group.

The Sounion was targeted last week by multiple projectiles off Yemen's port city of Hodeidah. There have been seemingly conflicting reports about oil escaping from the ship. Reuters has not independently confirmed if the oil is leaking or spilling from the vessel.

The Houthis, who control Yemen's most populous regions, said they attacked the Sounion. The militants began aerial drone and missile strikes on the Red Sea in November in what they say is solidarity with Palestinians in the war between Israel and Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip. In over 70 attacks, they have sunk two vessels, seized another and killed at least three seafarers.

The Pentagon said on Tuesday a third party had tried to send two tugs to help salvage the Sounion, but the Houthis threatened to attack them.

In a statement on Wednesday, Iran's U.N. mission said "the failure to provide aid and prevent an oil spill in the Red Sea stems from the negligence of certain countries, rather than concerns over the possibility of being targeted." (This story has been refiled to fix the byline)

Photos show an oil tanker ablaze days after Houthi rebels attacked it with a drone boat

  • A commercial oil tanker adrift in the Red Sea was still on fire days after an attack by the Houthis.
  • The Greek-flagged vessel MV Sounion was struck by an exploding Houthi drone boat last week.
  • Carrying 165,000 tons of crude oil, the EU said it poses a "navigational and environmental hazard."

Insider Today

A commercial oil tanker adrift in the Red Sea was still on fire days after Houthi rebels attacked it with an explosive-laden drone boat last week.

The incident was the most recent successful attack by the Iranian-backed rebel group in Yemen, which is targeting vessels in key shipping lanes in the Red Sea in solidarity with Palestinians amid the war in the Gaza Strip.

Targeted tanker

sea lake yachts photos

The Greek-flagged tanker vessel MV Sounion came under attack by the Houthis last Wednesday as it was transiting the Gulf of Oman, the Greek shipping ministry said.

The 274-meter-long oil tanker was en route from Iraq to the Greek town of Agioi Theodoroi, about 50 miles west of Athens, where several key oil refineries operate to provide fuel from Greece to other parts of Europe and  the US .

A hostile rescue mission

sea lake yachts photos

Operation Aspides — the European Union's counter-Houthi naval mission — deployed a French frigate to rescue the crew aboard the Sounion, which was left stranded in international waters after the ship lost engine power during an attack.

During the rescue mission, however, the French warship detected a hostile naval drone "heavily loaded" with explosives and destroyed it, the French military said.

Une frégate 🇫🇷 déployée en mer Rouge a réalisé ce matin le sauvetage de l'équipage du pétrolier Sounion, action comprenant la neutralisation d'un drone de surfaceEngagée dans l'opération @EUNAVFORASPIDES 🇪🇺 la frégate🇫🇷continue ses missions de maintien #sécuritémaritime https://t.co/JyV0POavRg pic.twitter.com/eBe9ZPP7nH — FFEAU.ALINDIEN (@FFEAU_ALINDIEN) August 22, 2024

The frigate evacuated more than two dozen crew members aboard the Sounion, who were all reportedly unharmed in the incident, and transported them to a nearby port in Djibouti.

Following the rescue operation on Thursday, the abandoned tanker was reportedly anchored in place in waters between Eritrea and Yemen, a maritime security source told Reuters last week.

Houthi explosions

sea lake yachts photos

Late Friday night, the Houthis posted video footage to social media showing explosions rocking the damaged oil tanker as fires broke out on the main deck.

An analysis by the Associated Press said three simultaneous explosions could be heard in the video, suggesting that the explosives were planted on the abandoned vessel rather than struck by a drone or other munitions.

Burning for days

sea lake yachts photos

The EU's naval operation released images of large plumes of smoke billowing from the tanker vessel on Monday, which was still ablaze days after the Houthi attack. Authorities added that at least five locations on the ship's main deck were still on fire, including part of its superstructure and areas near the hatches of its oil tanks.

The UK Maritime Trade Operations agency said the burning tanker also now appears to be adrift, possibly having lost its anchor.

'An imminent environmental hazard'

sea lake yachts photos

The EU said the ship, which is loaded with 150,000 metric tons (about 165,000 tons) of flammable crude oil, represents "both a navigational and an imminent environmental hazard," warning vessels in the area to exercise "extreme caution."

The Sounion is carrying at least 1.1 million barrels of crude oil, or about 47.9 million gallons. By comparison, the Exxon Valdez oil tanker could carry just over 53 million gallons — about 11 million of which spilled into the Gulf of Alaska in 1989 after the tanker hit a reef.

As of Sunday night, there were no obvious signs of an oil spill , Aspides wrote in a post on X .

"A potential spill could lead to disastrous consequences for the region's marine environment," the Djibouti Ports and Free Zones Authority said Friday.

Houthi's havoc in the Red Sea continues

sea lake yachts photos

In its 10-month campaign terrorizing commercial ships in waters near Yemen, the Houthis have targeted more than 80 vessels — seizing one and sinking two . At least three mariners have been killed in the Houthi campaign.

The Sounion is the third vessel operated by Greek shipping company Delta Tankers to be targeted by the Iranian-backed rebel group this month.

In a televised speech, Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said the rebel group was attacking Delta Tankers' ships because the shipping company allegedly disregarded the rebel's group demands not to enter "the ports of occupied Palestine."

"Delta Tankers is doing everything it can to move the vessel (and cargo)," the company said in a statement on Friday, per Reuters . "For security reasons, we are not in a position to comment further."
