Seven bodies have been found after a superyacht sank off the coast of Sicily.

Twenty-two people were on board the vessel named Bayesian when it got into difficulty in the early hours of Monday, with 15 people rescued.

Here's what we know about the sinking of the luxury vessel so far.

Seven people missing after British-flagged yacht capsizes in tornado off coast of Italy

What might have caused the sinking?

The British-flagged luxury vessel, named Bayesian, capsized at around 4.30am local time on Monday morning off Palermo, according to ship-tracking site Marine Traffic.

It sank in as little as 60 seconds with 22 people on board, 12 passengers and a crew of 10, according to the Italian coastguard.

Waterspouts, essentially tornados that form over water, were seen as powerful winds battered the area overnight, local media said.

moon sand yacht marine traffic

The yacht may have sunk faster with all the doors open due to the hot weather, Sailing Today magazine editor Sam Jefferson has said.

"I imagine all the doors were open because it was hot, so there were enough hatches and doors open that it filled with water very quickly and sank like that," he said.

Official pictures show air conditioning units in several of the rooms, however, which could counter the suggestion open windows caused the vessel to sink faster.

The huge mast is also likely to have played a role, he added.

What are waterspouts?

Waterspouts typically occur during thunderstorms and can develop very rapidly, within minutes.

Their spin generally reaches wind speeds between 75-200mph, but can reach as high as 300mph.

They can travel at about 10-20mph typically but can reach greater speeds, making them difficult to avoid - especially in something as slow-moving as a yacht.

Matthew Schanck, chair of the Maritime Search and Rescue Council, called the reports of a tornado or waterspout "rare" and "quite alarming".

"The vessel was at anchor in a recognised anchorage," Mr Schanck said.

"Depending on wind direction and the state of the sea, this informs the captain whether it is a safe area to anchor or not. There was nothing that was too concerning, for my eye. All in all, the captain used the information they had to make a safe call."

Who owns the yacht?

The yacht belonged to the family of British tech tycoon Mike Lynch. He was confirmed to have died after rescuers found his body on Thursday. Mr Lynch was on holiday with his 18-year-old daughter Hannah, who is still missing, and his wife Angela Bacares, who was rescued.

Mr Lynch, 59, was known as the " British Bill Gates " and has been in the headlines in recent months over a high-profile fraud case.

moon sand yacht marine traffic

In June, a US jury cleared him of all charges, which were related to the 2011 sale of his software company Autonomy to Hewlett-Packard (HP). The yacht trip is believed to have been a celebration of the end of Mr Lynch's legal troubles.

HP accused him of deliberately overstating the value of the company before it was acquired by the American tech giant.

Mr Lynch was extradited to the US to face trial in May last year and spent 13 months under house arrest in San Francisco as he awaited trial on 17 charges of conspiracy and wire fraud brought by the US Department of Justice - which were later reduced to 15 charges. He always denied any wrongdoing and was acquitted.

Who was on board when the boat sank?

The passengers were largely British and American, with crew members were from New Zealand, South Africa, and Canada.

Charlotte Golunski was among the Britons rescued. Her LinkedIn profile says she is a partner at Mr Lynch's firm Invoke Capital and has worked there since 2012.

Charlotte Golunski

Speaking after the ordeal, Ms Golunski told Italian media that she lost her daughter Sofia for "two seconds" amid the "fury" of the sea but was able to retrieve her. She said she held the infant above the waves until the lifeboat was ready.

"Many people screamed. Luckily the lifeboat inflated and 11 of us were able to get on board," she told ANSA.

The girl's father James Emsley also survived, according to Sicily's civil protection agency.

Also on board were Jonathan Bloomer, chairman of investment bank Morgan Stanley, his wife Judy Bloomer, a top US lawyer Chris Morvillo, who worked on Mr Lynch's criminal case, and his wife Neda Morvillo. Divers confirmed on Thursday that their bodies had been recovered.

The yacht's captain James Cutfield survived, along with South African crew members Leah Randall and Katja Chicken.

Recaldo Thomas, a Canadian-Antiguan chef who was working on the boat, was the first to be found dead, the Italian Coastguard confirmed to Sky News.

During rescue efforts, divers saw "corpses through the portholes" of the wreck as they recovered the body of a man at a depth of 50m (164ft), according to Salvo Cocina, the head of the Civil Protection of Sicily.

What do we know about the vessel?

The Bayesian is owned by a company controlled by Mr Lynch's wife.

It was known for its unusual 72.3m (246ft) single mast - one of the world's tallest made of aluminium - and shared its name with the statistical method Mr Lynch's Autonomy software was based on.

Pic:Danny Wheelz

It was built by Italian company Perini Navi in 2008 and last refitted in 2020.

It was listed for rent for up to €195,000 (£166,000) a week, according to online charter sites.

The luxury vessel , which was managed by yachting company Camper & Nicholsons, could accommodate up to 12 guests in six suites.

It won a string of awards for its design, according to online specialist yacht sites.

Mr Schanck, of the Maritime Search and Rescue Council, said the vessel would have been equipped with "high standard" life-saving appliances and radio communications.

He added the yacht would have met all international standards and UK Maritime Coastguard Agency regulations before its voyage.

It was previously named Salute, or "health" in Italian, when it flew under a Dutch flag. Its minimalist interior featured light wood with Japanese accents designed by the French designer Remi Tessier, according to descriptions on charter sites.

What were its last movements?

The boat left the Sicilian port of Milazzo on 14 August and was last tracked east of Palermo on Sunday evening, with a navigation status of "at anchor", according to vessel tracking site VesselFinder.

The Bayesian previously travelled to other parts of Sicily before its last sighting off the coast of the port of Porticello.

Esso, Kamchatka

Among the remarkable places of Kamchatka, there is a small village of Esso, located in the central part of the peninsula. Two rivers merge here, and the settlement itself appeared in the caldera of an extinct volcano. Located on the highlands, surrounded by thermal springs, larch taiga, this village is an environmentally pristine corner of the Earth, where air and water endow with healing powers.

Why Esso is Attractive for Tourists

The charm of a small village irresistibly affects those who come here. Amazing purity of air, a specific mild flavor of water, an atmosphere of peace and goodwill surprise people. The usual state of the atmosphere is calmness; especially in winter, one can notice the pacifying silence, which is unusual for urban residents. It has a dry microclimate and many sunny days. Esso is very beautiful in winter and summer. The surrounding mountain landscape resembles alpine views.

Right in the middle of the village, there is a large outdoor pool with thermal springs, which does not freeze even in cold weather. Someone is always swimming here. Hot springs are geared not only for healing purposes but also for growing vegetables and berries (including strawberries) in greenhouses and for heating homes.

The village was officially named Esso in 1932. They believed that this word is the name of the Bystraya River in Even or the distorted "isag", which means larch. However, linguists do not agree with such interpretations. According to the latest version, the name of the village came from the Koryak "echot", i. e. flooring from rods in the snow. Life in Esso runs slowly. There is a developed infrastructure with a post office, a bank, schools (including a music one and a craft school), a kindergarten, a winter sports complex, a bus station, and an airfield. There is a waste recycling plant, as well.

On the outskirts of the village, along the right bank of the Uksichan, hot springs burst forth out of the earth. Their temperature reaches 65 above Celsius. The composition of water is sulfate, calcium, and sodium.

Ethnographic Museum in Esso

In this small settlement, there are two unique museums. Ethnographic Museum was opened in 1988 and is dedicated to the culture of the indigenous peoples of Kamchatka. Its interesting and varied exhibits impress everyone who visited it. It is located both in buildings and in the open. The main part of the exhibits is located in a house built in the architectural traditions of the government office of the XVII-XVIII centuries. Cossack explorers lived, who mastered the Kamchatka Territory, lived in such burgs. In addition to the government office, there is a specially built defense tower, a Koryak semi-basement dwelling, and a booth, an exhibition hall in the museum.

Koryak dwelling was built in 2003 and is a reconstruction of the historical object of the XIX century. Since time immemorial, Koryaks lived in such houses, the peculiar form of which is reflected in the museum version.

In the government office, there is a detailed exposition devoted to the Evenki culture. Here, you can see the rites and traditions of these people, see how people lived, what they ate, what they wear. The shamanistic staff creates a strong impression. These things contain the mysterious power of ancient magic. There are also musical instruments, as well as various artifacts, thanks to which you can get a good idea of Evenki culture. These items were collected from camps during several ethnographic expeditions.

The museum has a local history department, introducing the flora and fauna of the Bystrinsky District, which, due to its unique natural characteristics, is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. In the exhibition hall, you can see samples of the applied art of Kamchatka masters. These products are created from bone, wood, and fur; bead sewing is a popular element of their decoration. Souvenirs are sold right there.

Museum workers do all their best to present the museum in the most favorable light. During the excursions, they use slide shows, there are special places for memorable photos, and there are concerts of folk ensembles in the museum (you should make a special order). Museum visitors can visit the real bone carver workshop and get a wood carving master class.

Another popular museum in Esso is entirely dedicated to bears. This animal is the master of Kamchatka, which has totemic significance for local peoples. The Bear Museum was founded in 1999 at the library. Now, it occupies one small room though the exposition is located outside it, as well, in the courtyard, where there are wooden sculptures. A large exhibit, a stuffed bear, attracts attention. There are skulls and a cast of a bear’s footprint, a lot of various exhibits dedicated to the main hero. The photo department is also interesting; the taliped is captured from all angles and in different situations. There are books, albums, videos about bears – you can see all this in the museum.

Esso in Winter

Winter in the village is a time of interesting events and pleasant pastimes, so many people come here at this time of year. Frosts are not crackling; the proximity of the ocean softens the climate. The average temperature is approximately 16 above Celsius, the coldest month is January with 18 below zero. Fans of winter entertainment will find a variety of activities here.

A feature of these places is non-freezing thermal springs. The natural pool with hot water does not cool even in severe frosts. Bathing in it in the winter is an exotic, incomparable experience. There are snows all around, the majestic nature as if frozen in white hibernation and in the middle of an open reservoir, people are happily splashing – this picture is a reality in Esso.

For those who wish to ride the tundra by snowmobiles, such entertainment is also available. Fans of hunting (with hunting license) can try to get hares, partridges, foxes. There is a hunting lodge at a distance of 25 km from Esso.

In winter, there are two interesting events in Esso; many tourists plan their arrival for these dates. It is about the Reindeer Herder's Festival and Beringia dog sled race. Usually, they are held at the end of February or in March, which is a real winter month here.

Reindeer Herder's Festival

This is an annual holiday with a long-standing tradition. Reindeer herders not only from neighboring villages come here; guests come from far away. They gather in a large circle and discuss their affairs and prospects for reindeer husbandry. Officials always come to the holiday, as well; everything is well-managed and everyone works in unison. People have a tremendous time. According to ancient traditions, the ceremony of offering to the fire Ulekich is the first part of the holiday, then an Evenki yurt is put up and anyone can enter as a guest.

The holiday is combined with competitions in traditional northern sports: throwing a chout (lasso made of deerskin) on a harray (long pole used to drive a team of reindeer), running with a stick in the mountains, jumping over sledges, throwing an ax, triple jumping with simultaneous kicking off with two legs. Competitions are held in the gym of the local school or in the open air. An integral part of the holiday program is the reindeer sleigh race. Usually, about a dozen sleds are involved, the show is exciting and gambling. There are National wrestling competitions, as well. Spectators gather in a circle, inside, there are wrestlers. Before they close, they rub with snow.

In addition to the sports component and the exchange of experience, Reindeer Herder's Festival is also a festival of folk art. National ensembles perform; handicrafts are sold. Guests treat themselves to tea with flatbread and shurpa. The fun lasts up to three days.

Beringia Sled Dog Race in Kamchatka

The traditional dog sled race Beringia dates back to 1990. Then the magazine “Northern vast expenses” first came up with such an initiative, secured the support of the All-Union Fund of the Peoples of the North, Siberia and the Far East and organized the first competition. There were only eight participants, and they covered 250 km. The following year, the length of the route was the largest in the history of racing – 1,980 km, which was started in the Guinness World Records. After that, the length of the route was established at 1,100 km.

The feature and attractiveness of Beringia is that there is no age qualification. Elderly mushers (dog team drivers) also participate; to see the work of the experienced people is a good reason for younger people to adopt centuries-old dog management techniques. Animal participants are not specially bred sports dogs. They are ordinary northern dogs that continue to work at other times, as their predecessors have been done for centuries in these parts. However, during the competition, dogs have to overcome almost double distance per day compared to their usual way.

The route runs along the coast of the Sea of Okhotsk through the Sredinny Range to the east. On the racetrack, competitors visit 12 villages and towns, including Esso. In each locality, a meeting of mushers becomes a holiday – people dress up in national costumes and arrange concerts of ethnographic groups. Beringia participants do not just compete, the race also has the practical meaning as books, school and sports equipment are delivered to the settlements. Dog teams overcome mountains and tundra, cross numerous rivers until they reach the finish line.

Summer Holidays in Esso

In summer, this corner of Kamchatka is no less interesting. All the unique beauty of the region appears in the summer period in all its glory. Therefore, it is recommended that at the peak of this season (July-August) you take care of housing in advance by booking a place in a hotel or by agreeing with the owners of private houses that rent rooms.

Summer weather is mild, with average June temperatures of 8.5 above Celsius, July – 12.4 above zero, August – +11.0 °C. But there are also much hotter days, up to +30 °C.

For tourists, there are special trails around the village along which you can walk or ride on horses. Such routes last from one to four days. Natural attractions in the most beautiful surroundings make such trips memorable. After climbing the extinct volcano Olengende (almost 2 km high), you can admire the stunning view. The distance from the village to the Sopka is 10 km. Eight kilometers away, there is Alney – the peak of the Sredinny Range (2600 m).

There are mountain lakes Ikar and Galyamiki. Klyuchevskaya group of volcanoes is relatively close to Esso, as well. Ascending Plosky Tolbachik is a favorite activity of tourists who have arrived here. They go where the past eruptions left their fantastic traces resembling alien landscapes.

Water sports enthusiasts have an opportunity to raft along the Bystraya River. They have enough opportunities to show their skills and courage – the Bystraya has 12 thresholds of varying degrees of difficulty, you can overcome some of them only under the guidance of experienced masters. The river is also famous for its fish, so fans of fishing will feel here like in paradise.

How to Get to Esso

It takes 7-10 hours with stops to get here from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky by car. The road is long, not smooth, but stunning views around will be the completion of this inconvenience.

The fastest way to get to the village is by helicopter MI-8; the flight lasts 2 hours. From the air, the magnificence of the opening picture seems fantastic. However, the price of such a trip is very high.

Tourists can get the necessary information in the visitor center. For your convenience, there are signs pointing to the main attractions throughout the village. In the center of the village, there is a large map, which clearly shows all the places worth visiting and routes around the neighborhood. There are several hotels in Esso; their price range is different. Many tourists stay in private houses both because it is cheaper and because often there are no more places in hotels. After all, this small peculiar village in Kamchatka attracts people, and having been here once, they return again and again.
