One man has died and six people – including British tech tycoon Mike Lynch – are missing after a luxury yacht carrying foreign tourists was struck by an unexpectedly violent storm and sank off the Sicilian capital Palermo. The 56-metre sailboat was identified as the British-registered Bayesian and sank with 22 people on board shortly before sunrise on Monday, the Italian Coast Guard said. The missing people were of British, American and Canadian nationality.
“We managed to keep the ship in position and after the storm was over, we noticed that the ship behind us was gone,” Karsten Borner told journalists. He said his crew then found some of the survivors on a life raft, including three who were seriously injured and took them on board before the coast guard picked them up. Borner said “a little baby and the wife of the owner” were among the survivors, while the owner of the sunken ship and another child were among those missing.
