Fatal design flaws left Mike Lynch’s superyacht ‘vulnerable’ to high winds, U.K. investigators confirm

Quick Summary:

A U.K.report says design flaws left Bayesian vulnerable to storm winds that capsized the yacht, killing Mike Lynch, his daughter, and five others.

That salvage operation is due to resume on Thursday, according to TMC Marine, the company in charge of the mission.

Efforts to raise the yacht from the seabed were suspended after the death of a diver working to remove the mast last week.
