Bayesian yacht? What's the chance? What are the odds?

70% of all water deaths/drownings involve the lack of flotation devices or the improper use of flotation devices.

Hubris: the boat is unsinkable.

Me: A ferry boat captain (9th anniversary this year) on an alpine lake at 7,700’ with ocean-like conditions (4’-6’ whitecaps), predictably occurring, almost every afternoon.

On one occasion, during a violent thunderstorm, I had 35 passengers under my responsibility, wherein I conducted an evacuation from one shore of the lake to the other shore, evading the storm until reaching the intended destination, taking an hour to cross the lake, due to the weight constraints, where upon at arrival, all hell broke loose.

Beware, is - to - be - aware.

10 crew/12 guests (big problems)

Me, 2 crew/34 guests. (no problems)

I’m reminded of the scuba diving boat with a large number of guests that perished when the boat caught fire. This happened near the Catalina Islands. All of the crew escaped. WTF!

Protect your charges!

Are they looking for scapegoats?

Indeed.

184 feet and a single mast? I'd imagine those sails are/were not manageable without electric motors.

“Unsinkable”. Yes, the Titanic proved just how unsinkable boats and ships are.

A crew of 10 on that size of a boat? I do see the incompetence there. If there were water tight hatches and pumps to eject the water, it should have stayed afloat.
