Mike Lynch's yacht was state-of-the-art and shouldn't sink so easily, expert says
Briefly

Matthew Schank, a maritime search and rescue consultant, expressed his disbelief over the sinking of the modern, state-of-the-art superyacht, stating it should not have sunk according to standards. He explained, "It was really shocking. But what's more shocking is the fact that it's a modern, state-of-the-art superyacht, which would have been commercially certified and regulated by the Maritime Coastguard Agency. There was no indication that the ship breached any international maritime construction or safety standards."
Giovanni Costantino, CEO of The Italian Sea Group, called the sinking an unbelievable story, both technically and as a fact. He highlighted the reliability of sailing ships, stating, "Sailing ships, it is well known, are the safest in the most absolute sense." Costantino's commentary emphasizes the unexpected nature of the incident involving such a valuable and modern vessel.
