One of the crew said he had to force open the sliding door of the Bayesian in order to escape (forward to 3:00)

[b]What a mess. Hey, billionaire above, might be time to pick up a blue water luxury yacht on the cheap! [/b][/quote]

Not exactly.  The doors on a yacht like that are very much akin to the sliding glass doors you would see on a typical suburban house leading to the back deck.

As vessels roll and heel at sea, there would have to be a mechanism that would prevent gravity from allowing the door to slide open on its own, potentially allowing water ingress.  A young man woken at 4:00 a.m. and likely near panic in the crisis may not think of or remember the mechanism and how to disable it, allowing him to easily open the door.

It’s been reported that the sliding glass doors on this boat were a problem as they would slide on their own whenever the boat heeled too much. [/quote]
