The former captain of the Bayesian laid out his opinion of what caused the sinking: https://www.sailingscuttlebutt.com/2024/08/27/former-bayesian-captain-offers-insight/ https://www.sailingscuttlebutt.com/2024/08/27/former-bayesia... It should also be noted that the fishermen in the area all received notice of incoming storm activity and many of them took precautionary measures HOURS in advance of when the storm actually hit. Whoever was the bridge watchstander on duty during that time should have been paying attention to the immediate near term weather forecast info. This was an entirely preventable incident.

This was a very informative article. It seems they should have shut down the generator and hvac and closed the vents. Pretty wild that a 45° heel angle caused it to ship water, that sounds pretty scary, as does the 75° righting angle with the keel up.
