2001 example of this extremely popular Jeppesen-designed cruiser racer from X-Yachts in Denmark. Great cruising spec, new teak decks, and well-presented throughout, she is offered at a very attractive asking price. FURTHER BROKER'S COMMENTS: With 156 units built between 1998 and 2004, the X-362 Sport is one of the most successful performance cruising yachts from the Danish boatbuilder. CHULITA has been launched in 2001 and delivered to her original UK-based owner who enjoyed club racing in and around the Solent. Her current, Scandinavian-based owned acquired her in 2010 and continued to enjoy her for both short-handed cruising, competitive club racing and top-level ORC worlds competition. Extensively refitted over recent seasons including new teak decks in 2022, new rig in 2015 and new Elvstrøm EPEX sails in 2022/23, CHULITA is now very well presented and ready to go option and she is offered for sale as her owner wishes to go bigger. CHULITA boasts many specification highlights including:- X-362 'Sport' version with sport 2.25m keel and taller fractional rig. Teak interior layout - revarnished 2022 White topsides - repainted 2018 Yanmar 3GM30 27hp engine - overhauled in 2021 Teak deck - replaced 2022. John Mast - replaced 2015.

After purchase, I kept her in Scandinavia, enjoying annual summer cruises to Sweden and Norway. We also participated in the ORC Worlds in Kiel in 2014 - our first big race and we ended in the top third of the fleet, which was much better than we expected. We have absolutely no problem racing against X-37s and similar boats and matching their speed. Following our time in Scandinavia, we moved CHULITA to the Mediterranean where we have enjoyed her since. She has been continually updated and refitted to keep her in fantastic condition and also to make her even better suited to 'off-grid' longer term cruising. The recent addition of solar panels and Lithium service batteries allows us to stay anchored for 5-6 days without needing to generate further power from the engine. MANUFACTURER'S COMMENTS: In 1993 the ultimate racer was born. The X-362 was an exceptionally stiff yacht and appealed to more conservative sailors who demanded high levels of comfort. Based on the success of the original X-362, a Sports version was added in 1998. She had a deeper, lighter keel, fractional rig, enlarged wheel and mahogany interior. In the design process of the X-362, the attention to winning potential was of secondary priority. The first priority was the demand for a timeless, comfortable, safe and easily handled yet perfect sailing 36-footer with adequate room and facility for a "normal family" - but of course by giving her the "standard" X-Yachts attention to smooth and fast sailing, enabling her to also please the performance-orientated sailor. The new Sports design with more sail area made a big enough difference to beat the little sister X-332 which won more regattas than any earlier X-Yachts, including the IMS European Championship - suddenly it was the X-362 Sport which in 1999 was unbeatable, winning in both IMS (European IMS C/R winner) and IRC. 2000 results including UK IRC Nationals, Cord Cork Week - and Frühjahrswoche in Germany.

UK tech tycoon Mike Lynch among five bodies confirmed in Sicily yacht disaster

Five bodies have been found including UK tech mogul Mike Lynch, after four days of searching following the sinking of a luxury yacht off the coast of Sicily.

The Bayesian yacht was carrying 22 people when it sank off the coast of Sicily in the early hours of Monday morning . In the hours following, 15 people were rescued, including Lynch’s wife, Angela Bacares.

A body of a man, later confirmed to be boat’s chef Recaldo Thomas, was found on Monday morning.

Since then, six people were uncounted for, mogul  Lynch , his 18-year-old daughter Hannah Lynch, Morgan Stanley International Bank chair  Jonathan Bloomer , his wife Judy and and Clifford Chance lawyer Chris Morvillo and his wife Neda.

After three days of searching, the Italian Coast Guard and Italian Fire and Rescue Services have since found five bodies inside the wreck

Two were found around 2:30pm (UK time), with a further two found about two hours later and the final body was discovered around 6pm (UK time) on Wednesday.

All five bodies were brought onshore, and identified.

On Thursday at 9am (UK time), it was revealed by Sky News that Lynch is among the dead, along with Bloomer, his wife, Morvillo and his wife Neda.

The final missing people is Lynch’s daughter, Hannah, as also reported by PA news agency.

No formal identification of the bodies has been announced by the Italian authorities.

The Italian Fire and Rescue (Vigili del Fuoco) tweeted on X on Thursday morning that the “dives into the sea had begun in the early hours of the morning and are continuing for the search and recovery of the last missing person” [Translated from Italian].

A statement from the Bloomer family on Thursday afternoon said: “We are grieving for our loved ones and all of those affected by the tragedy. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the emergency services and everyone who helped tirelessly in this rescue operation.”

“Our parents were incredible people and an inspiration to many, but first and foremost they were focused on and loved their family and spending time with their new grandchildren. Together for five decades, our only comfort is that they are still together now.”

“This is an unimaginable grief to shoulder. Our only ask is that our family’s privacy is respected at this time.”

Lynch Yacht Sinking Off Sicily Proves as Baffling as It Is Tragic

As bodies were recovered, the authorities and experts wondered how a $40 million, stable and secure vessel could have sunk so quickly.

• Share full article

By Emma Bubola and Michael J. de la Merced

Emma Bubola reported from Porticello, Italy, and Michael J. de la Merced from London.

Two months after being cleared in a bruising legal battle over fraud charges, the British tech mogul Mike Lynch celebrated his freedom with a cruise. He invited his family, friends and part of his legal team on board his luxury sailing yacht, a majestic 180-foot vessel named Bayesian after the mathematical theorem around which he had built his empire.

On Sunday night, after a tour of the Gulf of Naples, including Capri, and volcanic islands in the Eolian archipelago, the boat anchored half a mile off the Sicilian coast in Porticello, Italy. It chose a stretch of water favored by the Phoenicians thousands of years ago for its protection from the mistral wind and, in more recent times, by the yachts of tech billionaires. The boat was lit “like a Christmas tree,” local residents said, standing out against the full moon.

But about 4 a.m., calamity unfolded. A violent and fast storm hit the area with some of the strongest winds locals said they had ever felt. Fabio Cefalù, a fisherman, said he saw a flare pierce the darkness shortly after 4.

Minutes later, the yacht was underwater. Only dozens of cushions from the boat’s deck and a gigantic radar from its mast floated on the surface of the sea, fishermen said.

In all, 22 people were on board, 15 of whom were rescued. Six bodies — five passengers and the ship’s cook — had been recovered by Thursday afternoon, including that of Mr. Lynch, an Italian government official said, adding that the search was continuing for his daughter.

It was a tragic and mystifying turn of events for Mr. Lynch, 59, who had spent years seeking to clear his name and was finally inaugurating a new chapter in his life. Experts wondered how a $40 million yacht, so robust and stable could have been sunk by a storm near a port within minutes.

“It drives me insane,” said Giovanni Costantino, the chief executive of the Italian Sea Group, which in 2022 bought the company, Perini, that made the Bayesian. “Following all the proper procedures, that boat is unsinkable.”

The aura of misfortune only deepened when it emerged that Stephen Chamberlain, 52, a former vice president of finance for Mr. Lynch’s former company and a co-defendant in the fraud case, was killed two days earlier, when he was hit by a car while jogging near his house in England.

Since June, the two men had been in a jubilant mood. A jury in San Francisco had acquitted both on fraud charges that could have sent them to prison for two decades. There were hugs and tears, and they and their legal teams went for a celebratory dinner party at a restaurant in the city, said Gary S. Lincenberg, a lawyer for Mr. Chamberlain.

The sea excursion was meant as a thank-you by Mr. Lynch to those who had helped him in his legal travails. Among the guests was Christopher J. Morvillo, 59, a scion of a prominent New York family of lawyers who had represented Mr. Lynch for 12 years. He and his wife, Neda, 57, were among the missing.

So, too, was Jonathan Bloomer, 70, a veteran British insurance executive who chaired Morgan Stanley International and the insurer Hiscox.

The body of the ship’s cook, Recaldo Thomas, was recovered. All the other crew members survived. Among them was Leo Eppel, 19, of South Africa, who was on his first yacht voyage working as a deck steward, said a friend, who asked not to be identified.

Since the sinking, the recovery effort and investigation have turned the tiny port town of Porticello, a quiet enclave where older men sit bare-chested on balconies, into what feels like the set of a movie.

Helicopters have flown overhead. Ambulances have sped by with the sirens blaring. The Coast Guard has patrolled the waters off shore, within sight of a cordoned-off dock that had been turned into an emergency headquarters.

On Wednesday afternoon, a church bell tolled after the first body bag was loaded into an ambulance, a crowd watching in silence.

The survivors were sheltering in a sprawling resort near Porticello, with a view of the shipwreck spot, and had so far declined to comment.

Attilio Di Diodato, director of the Italian Air Force’s Center for Aerospace Meteorology and Climatology, said that the yacht had most likely been hit by a fierce “down burst” — when air generated within a thunderstorm descends rapidly — or by a waterspout , similar to a tornado over water.

He added that his agency had put out rough-sea warnings the previous evening, alerting sailors about storms and strong winds. Locals said the winds “felt like an earthquake.”

Mr. Costantino, the boat executive, said the yacht had been specifically designed for having a tall mast — the second-tallest aluminum mast in the world. He said the Bayesian was an extremely safe and secure boat that could list even to 75 degrees without capsizing.

But he said that if some of the hatches on the side and in the stern, or some of the deck doors, had been open, the boat could have taken on water and sunk. Standard procedure in such storms, he said, is to switch on the engine, lift the anchor and turn the boat into the wind, lowering the keel for extra stability, closing doors and gathering the guests in the main hall inside the deck.

12 guests occupied the yacht’s six cabins. There were also 10 crew members.

Open hatches, doors and cabin windows could have let in water during a storm, according to the manufacturer.

The New York Times attempted to reach the captain, James Cutfield, who had survived, for comment through social media, his brother and the management company of the yacht (which did not hire the crew), but did not make contact.

So far none of the surviving crew members have made a public statement about what happened that night.

Fabio Genco, the director of Palermo’s emergency services, who treated some of the survivors, said that the victims had recounted feeling as if the boat was being lifted, then suddenly dropped, with objects from the cabins falling on them.

The Italian Coast Guard said it had deployed a remotely operated vehicle that can prowl underwater for up to seven hours at a depth of more than 980 feet and record videos and images that they hoped would help them reconstruct the dynamics of the sinking. Such devices were used during the search and rescue operations of the Titan vessel that is believed to have imploded last summer near the wreckage of the Titanic.

After rescuers broke inside the yacht, they struggled to navigate the ropes and many pieces of furniture cluttering the vessel, said Luca Cari, a spokesman for Italy’s national firefighter corps.

Finally, as of Thursday morning, they had managed to retrieve all but one of the missing bodies, and hopes of finding the missing person alive were thin. “Can a human being be underwater for two days?” Mr. Cari asked.

What was certain was that Mr. Lynch’s death was yet another cruel twist of fate for a man who had spent years seeking to clear his name.

He earned a fortune in technology and was nicknamed Britain’s Bill Gates. But for more than a decade, he had been treated as anything but a respected tech leader.

He was accused by Hewlett-Packard, the American technological pioneer that had bought his software company, Autonomy, for $11 billion, of misleading it about his company’s worth. (Hewlett-Packard wrote down the value of the transaction by about $8.8 billion, and critics called it one of the worst deals of all time .) He had been increasingly shunned by the British establishment that he sought to break into after growing up working-class outside London.

He was extradited to San Francisco to face criminal charges, and confined to house arrest and 24-hour surveillance on his dime. In a townhouse in the Pacific Heights neighborhood — with security people he jokingly told associates were his “roommates” — he spent his mornings talking with researchers whom he funded personally on new applications for artificial intelligence. Afterward, he devoted hours to discussing legal strategy with his team.

Despite his persistent claims of innocence, even those close to Mr. Lynch had believed his odds of victory were slim. Autonomy’s chief financial officer, Sushovan Hussain, was convicted in 2018 of similar fraud charges and spent five years in prison.

During Mr. Lynch’s house arrest, his brother and mother died. His wife, Angela Bacares, frequently flew over from England, and she became a constant presence in the San Francisco courtroom during the trial.

After he was finally acquitted, Mr. Lynch had his eye on the future. “I am looking forward to returning to the U.K. and getting back to what I love most: my family and innovating in my field,” he said.
