Sad the authorities are trying now to shift blame on the crew. This yacht was built for luxury not for the ocean, an elderly and simple 12 thousand pound sadler 32 would have survived. The problem remains with many boats today in that designers build luxury around a vessel rather that sea worthiness.
I completely agree. It's unfortunate to see the authorities attempting to shift the blame onto the crew when the real issue lies with the design of these vessels. Yachts like the one in question are built more for luxury and aesthetics rather than for true seaworthiness. As you pointed out, a simple and sturdy boat like the Sadler 32, designed with the ocean in mind, would have had a much better chance of surviving harsh conditions. The focus on luxury over safety is a concerning trend in boat design today, and it's frustrating to see that this has led to such tragic consequences.
