It wasn’t rigged for sail while sitting at anchor, so I don’t understand why you think that is somehow damning.

So it’s the tallest sloop ever made. Ok? And?

It’s basically a scaled-up design, so nothing about it is exactly bleeding edge design. I would argue the retractable keel, assuming it’s retracted while at anchor, which it probably is, is more at-fault than the mast.

Even with sails down the mast and huge boom might have contributed to this boat reaching its tipping point and unable to reset

I can tell you don’t understand much about boats, but every vessel has a roll limit where past that point , it will capsize. Very few boats are designed to be self-righting after a roll, most will stay capsized after they go over, so it’s doubtful that even had the water been deep enough for the mast to not have struck the seabed, it almost certainly would not have self righted after the roll.

So none of this would’ve mattered.

Okey dokey, so please enlighten us then with your oh so valuable superior engineering knowledge

Well, mostly it comes from being a mechanical engineer who grew up sailing and has probably owned more boats than you have teeth in your head.

So. Yeah.

Hey engineers on this chain who were so haughty about this being crew error… care to read todays’ NYT?

This was DESIGN error.

Reading not your thing?

Even without major errors by the crew, the ship could have sunk

In other words, they aren't certain it would have sunk but the crew was the primary cause.

Sounds like it was a confluence of three things — really weird storm, crew error and poor design. But design should really anticipate some level of crew error because humans commit errors pretty frequently, get tired, etc. I mean, that’s why cars have seat belts and air bags and anti collision alarms etc. No one designs a car on the assumption that all drivers will behave perfectly.

Apparently reading is not your thing. Read the entire article. It was NOT crew errors. The article makes it clear. There was an accusation that they’d left the hatches open. But no, they didn’t.

Read the article. It wasn’t crew error. You’re misreading that sentence and then doubling down on pretend engineer above. It was design flaws- several of them- including the mast size.

“We can look at it in hindsight and say they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. No, that’s not true,” said Tad Roberts, a Canadian naval architect who has nearly 40 years of experience designing boats, including superyachts.

“This boat had definite shortcomings that kind of uniquely made it vulnerable to what happened.”

The yacht maker is suing the NYT over its article that suggested it was primarily a design error issue

They were gonna try to lift it recently but then a Dutch diver died and they stopped.
