your Bayesian yacht is an outlier adn should not be counted
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.

Wait, they replaced the two masts with one double sized one? That seems a bit unwise.
Most of the time, though, the Bayesian operated like a motorboat, powered by two enormous diesel engines. During her five-day voyage, Ms. VanSickle said they sailed only once, for just a few hours. But when they did, the boat moved through the water so smoothly, she said, it felt like they were “gliding.”
Yes that is how sailing often feels if the water isnt choppy.
Mr. Costantino said the design was not at fault and that the towering mast, which stood 237 feet tall, had not created “any kind of problem.”
“The ship was an unsinkable ship,” he said. “I say it, I repeat it.”
- Designer of sunken ship
Never ever board a ship if someone calls her unsinkable.
“no no you don’t get it, you’re floating it wrong”
@Soyweiser To be fair that change request was made by the original purchaser of the yacht, long before it was re-christened Bayesian by its new owner
I know, still a strange choice, a Dutchman should know better.
