The Bayesian, the award-winning superyacht, sank during a tornado off the coast of Sicily in the early hours of Monday.<\/p>\n

The body of one person has been found, but six others – including British tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch<\/a><\/strong> – remain missing.<\/p>\n

But what do we know about the ship?<\/p>\n

The British-flagged 56 metre ship – previously called the Salute – was built in 2008 by Italian shipyard Perini Navi, and refitted in 2020.<\/p>\n

Its 75-metre mast is the world’s tallest aluminium mast, and the second tallest overall. The yacht can reach a maximum speed of 15 knots and weighs 473 tonnes.<\/p>\n

The French design house Remi Tessier fitted out the Japanese-style interior decor, with touches of light and dark beige and dark wood furnishings, as well as a teak deck.<\/p>\n

It won the best exterior styling at The World Superyacht Awards in 2009, and best interior at the International Superyacht Society Awards 2008.<\/p>\n

It has six guest bedrooms – one master, three doubles, and two twins – holding 12 people, and can carry another 10 crew members.<\/p>\n
