MURRAY 33 A 33' Auxiliary Sloop or Cutter for steel construction Brewer Design #122

The aim of this design was to produce a roomy, conventional auxiliary that will combine the strength of steel with good performance characteristics in a simple-to-build chine hull. Longitudinal stringers on widely spaced angle frames assure a fair hull and the welded steel construction assures great strength. The MURRAY's double chine hull form simplifies construction yet closely resembles a round bilge yacht in general shape and hydrostatics.

Her moderately long fin keel provides excellent lateral plane with minimum wetted surface for light air performance.

At the same time, her large skeg/rudder assures good directional stability and control at all times.

The accommodations are flexible and can be modified to suit individual owners, but the standard layout provides five fixed berths, a complete and very workable galley, good navigation facilities, an enclosed head and generous stowage throughout.

Many of these boats have been built by both professional and amateur builders and we have had good reports of their performance. Obviously the MURRAY is not a racing yacht as she was designed for blue water voyaging. Still, she will move out very nicely indeed in average conditions while her generous beam gives her the power to stand up to a stiff breeze. Her masthead rig is easily handled by a couple and can be readily single handed if desired.

The skipper looking for a proven offshore cruiser, one that is economical to build and maintain, and one that will cross oceans in safety and comfort should consider the MURRAY 33.

Study plans contain sufficient drawings to price out materials or obtain a professional bid; the cost of study plans is credited if complete plans are later ordered. Complete plans include rights to build one boat, plus reasonable consultation during construction.

Review of Brewer Murray 33

Basic specs., sailing characteristics.

This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.

What is Capsize Screening Formula (CSF)?

The capsize screening value for Brewer Murray 33 is 1.85, indicating that this boat could - if evaluated by this formula alone - be accepted to participate in ocean races.

What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?

The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 6.9 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed.

The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Brewer Murray 33 is about 181 kg/cm, alternatively 1018 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 181 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 1018 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

Sailing statistics

This section is statistical comparison with similar boats of the same category. The basis of the following statistical computations is our unique database with more than 26,000 different boat types and 350,000 data points.

What is Motion Comfort Ratio (MCR)?

What is L/B (Length Beam Ratio)?

What is Displacement Length Ratio?

SA/D (Sail Area Displacement ratio) Indicates how fast the boat is in light wind: - Cruising Boats have ratios 10-15 - Cruiser-Racers have ratios 16-20 - Racers have ratios above 20 - High-Performance Racers have ratios above 24 Sail-area/displacement ratio (SA/D ratio): 15.38

A Murray 33 bluewater cutter by Ted Brewer. Designed, built and equipped for ocean cruising with 20,000 nautical miles to prove it. She is in top condition after a 2003-4 refit, ready to cruise. Lying Shelburne Nova Scotia.

$73,000 Can.   $57,000 US

LOA 35 ft. LOD 33 ft. Beam 11 ft. Draft 5 ft. Disp. 16,000 lb. Ballast 4200 lb. lead.

This is a hard chine steel hull. Hull, cabin and cockpit are all welded 10 ga. (1/8+'') steel and the bottom of the keel is ½" steel. All seams are welded both outside and inside. Framing is mostly longitudinal with a full section web frame by way of the mast, four partial bulkheads in the main cabin and a full bulkhead forming the lazaret. There are three hull plates on each side and they are full length, no butt welds, so she is very fair. There is no filler or fairing compound anywhere. The exterior was sand blasted and coated with 7 gallons of Mobil Zinc Epoxy. This consists of about 85% zinc dust and is as close to hot dip galvanizing as you can get. This was followed by the complete AwlGrip system which stood up well for years but eventually got dull and was recoated in 2003 with Interlux Brightside polyurethane. The decks have Interlux nonskid. The interior was given a manganesed phosphelene wash followed by zinc chromate paint to the waterline and coal tar epoxy in the bilge area. Urethane foam insulation to 1 ½'' was sprayed on the interior, to the waterline. This seals out moisture, prevents condensation and provides thermal and sound insulation. There is no pitting, electrolysis or corrosion anywhere.

Outboard cutter 

 Six sails, all in good condition, by Sobstadt/Storer. 

LeFille, single spreader, painted aluminum, double internal tracks, deck stepped with folding "Mastwalker" steps.

Skeg hung rudder. 

Two inch solid shaft in delrin bearings projects through cockpit sole for emergency tiller. Wheel (28") is on forward mounted pedestal which is bolted to the bridgedeck. Chain/wire linkage with large sheaves and radial drive.

Two Autohelm autopilots.

Windvane steering. John Belcher's most refined design auxiliary rudder with trim tab control and horizontal axis vane.

Bowsprit is welded A-shaped steel pipe. There is a heavy welded SS anchor chute & roller. Bobstay is solid roundbar.

Anchor windlass is Simpson/Lawrence Hyspeed on a raised pedestal which also serves as the staysail stay chainplate and the staysail boom gooseneck.  Anchor chain drops into a "tank" in the forepeak. This can be pumped out but in fact it has never shipped water at sea.

There are full length painted mahogany bulwarks 1 1/8" x 5 ½", raised 1" and secured to steel tabs which also form attachments for rails and stanchions.

Bronze hawse holes through the bulwarks and two steel mooring bitts on the bow deck.

Side decks are wide, cabin sides and front slope inboard.

Wide boarding gates both sides, close to midships.

Lifelines are dacron line. You can walk around the boat on these without fear of them parting or bending stanchions.

Cockpit has a wide bridgedeck and 7' teak slat seats over steel. There are two huge cockpit lockers and a large lazaret which can be secured at sea.

There is a narrow boarding gate in the stern rail. Boarding from the dinghy over the stern is easy, the windvane mounting bracket forms a step and hand grip.

Jib sheet winches are new Lewmar #42, two speed, self-tailing. Jib and main sheets can be handled by the helmsman.

Ventilation is provided by two 4" Dorade boxes on the cabin top and removable cowl vents on the bow and stern decks.

The 7 ½ ft. dinghy has floatation chambers, a sailing rig, and stores inverted in chocks on the cabin top. The dinghy can easily be brought aboard or launched by two people through the boarding gate, without using a halyard to lift it.

There is a spray dodger but it has not been installed since the refit. The frame is sound but the fabric needs replacing.

There are eight cast aluminum Atkins & Hoyle opening ports, two A&H deck hatches and an A&H roller hatch for the companionway. The companionway has 1" thick teak drop boards in stainless steel channels.

Headroom is 6' 1 1/2"

Designed for liveaboard cruising. 

Double "harbour berth"  (6'9" X 48") forward.

Head on port side, lockers on starboard to mid-ship. 

Galley in widest part. On port side are double sinks, two burner Taylor's kerosene range and a gimbaled one burner propane stove. On starboard is a well insulated, 4.6 cubic foot  icebox, dish and liquor lockers and a Force 10 cabin heater (kerosene) in a safe recess.

The main cabin has settees with deep pilot berths (6'5"X24") outboard and a solid cherry drop-leaf table. The navigation table is on port side, facing aft with the end of one settee forming a seat. -A wet locker is to starboard, under the bridgedeck. -

All locker doors are solid cherry frames with caning for ventilation. 

The top and front of the engine compartment can be removed for engine inspection and oil check. The nav. table slides out for complete removal of engine box (top, front, and one side). Since the engine is under the bridgedeck, not the cockpit, this provides easy access to the engine and stuffing box.

There is a 40  gallon (48 US gal.) fuel tank under the cockpit. 

There are two stainless steel water tanks in the keel and a gravity feed day tank inside a locker in the head.  The day tank supplies taps in the head and galley. These tanks provide a total of 48 gallons (58 US. gallons).  An additional 15 gallons (18 US.) can be carried in three jerry cans fitted under the starboard pilot berth. 

Foot pumps in head and galley provide seawater. 

There is no exposed steel below. The interior is insulated with sprayed-in urethane foam and finished in painted marine grade mahogany ply, white ash ceiling, cherry trim and doors, cedar deckhead over the berths and solid teak cabin sole over marine ply. -All plywood was epoxy saturated when installed. No rust, no rot, no leaks.

Volvo MD7A, two cylinder 13 hp. This is a relatively slow turning engine with a massive flywheel. It can be hand started (except in very cold conditions). It moves the boat at hull speed, even in slightly choppy water. It is designed for salt water cooling. 

We had no engine hour meter until the engine was overhauled in 1992, then laid-up for several years. Since refitting and relaunching there are fewer than ten hours on the engine. -50 amp. alternator, new 715 Cold Crank Amps (CCA) start battery. -Lunenburg Foundry 16"x 10" two blade propeller, 1"stainless shaft.

House batteries are two 220 amp-hour 6 volt deep cycle batteries. There is a manually controlled rapid charge system.  

Furuno 1720 radar. 

Seafarer depthsounder with digital and spinner display. -GPS/Chartplotter- Standard Horizon CP150c (Colour).

VHF- Standard Horizon Intrepid with DSC and RAM remote microphone and controls.

Life ring. -

Seasling rescue system. 

20 lb. Danforth anchor with chain & nylon rode. 

35 lb. CQR anchor with 180 ft. 3/8" chain. 

Dinghy oars. 

Sun awning. -Cockpit spray cloths. 

Sestral 6" magnetic compass. -Bosuns Chair. -Spare fuel and oil filters. -Force 10 charcoal BBQ. Mounts on stern rail. -4 winch handles. -Marine AM, FM, Cassette, Weather radio. -Mainsail cover (new). -Swim ladder (Collapsible, stows in bag). -Cockpit seat cushions. Fold up and stow in bag. Double as a floatation device. -Window and companionway screens. -Windex wind indicator. -Fenders and docklines.

Ted Brewer is a highly respected designer of cruising yachts. The Murray 33 design was commissioned by Murray Boats in Trenton, Ontario, to be built for owner completion. Rather than the "Brewer Bight", a sort of scallop in the bottom of the keel before the rudder, which was Brewer's concession to those who demanded a full keel cruiser, this design has a long fin keel and a skeg hung rudder which is Brewer's real preference. This yields better speed and maneuverability but doesn't sacrifice directional stability.

The Murray 33, although made of steel, is not particularly heavy for an oceangoing cruising boat. Fellow sailors with similar size (CS33, C&C33, Ontario32) club racers are amazed by her responsiveness and stunned when we leave them behind if there is any kind of decent breeze (especially in choppy water, which simply stops a light boat in her tracks).

Chouette is hull number 10 of about 20 built by Murray Boats. She was launched in 1985. She has 20,000 sea miles under her keel, including two off-shore cruises to the Caribbean, several trips to Bermuda, circumnavigation of the Great Lakes and transit of the St Lawrence Seaway, the NewYork State/Erie Canal, the Intercoastal Waterway and the Trent-Severn Waterway. She was laid up for several years when we finished our last cruise and moved to Nova Scotia and decided to earn a living. She has had a major refit over the last two seasons and is ready to cruise. She is bright and airy down below, safe and easy to sail either singlehanded or by a couple. The quality of her design, workmanship and materials is exceptional and results in an almost ageless yacht.

"Chouette" is the french name of the Northern Saw-whet owl. Owls, of course, are known for silent flight. It is also a term of endearment in Quebec but has no relation to chou (cabbage). In France, it is a slang expression meaning "neat" or "cool".

She is regretfully for sale since we can no longer use her for her intended purpose.

any designer/plan suggestion for building a steel sailboat

  • Add to quote

Hi, We are planning to build our own steel sailboat in the 38' range for blue water cruising. We are in touch with bruce roberts about spray 38 but we want to be sure if we are on the right track about the designer of a steel sailboat. Considering the boat will be cruising mainly on the mediterranean sea, which designers or the specifically plans do you suggest?

Bruce is certainly one of the most prolific and popular designers of steel boats and his designs are popular with those who wish to build their own. I'd say you couldn't go wrong choosing one of his designs and beginning your project, though personally, I am not that enamoured with his junk rigged boats.

Ted Brewer is still selling plans and has a web site. But I don't think he supports his work much anymore. I believe he forwards folks to John (?) Simpson who is active. Ted Brewer Yacht Design http://simpsonmarinedesign.com Then there is Kasten Marine Design http://www.kastenmarine.com jay Bedford has some interesting stuff Benford Design Group Tell us more about what you are looking for and keep us posted.

One Life is to short to build a boat. if you just want to build a boat because you like to build then build but if you want to sail a boat in your life time than buy a boat and go sailing. most home built boats of this size are never finished by the original builder and if ever finished it is usually by the third or forth owner. well over half are never finished. Way to many good boat for sale way cheaper then you can build one.  

Chester Grayber had that dream but he did not have adequate ventilation while doing all the welding so he died of lung cancer before he completed the hull despite working on it for around 3 decades. He was a steel salesman and got the steel at his cost. He used 11" wide steel strips since those were the largest he could handle without heavy equipment and a lot of forming. It took another man (Tom Taylor) an additional decade to partially finish the boat before it sank due to some issue with thru-hulls and an exhaust system below the water line. It was a 74 foot motor yacht but it does exemplify the potential time it can take when you have a day job and the risks of welding in a confined space. If you are actually planning on doing the work yourself and not have a ship yard build the steel hull for you then indeed vet out how many man hours will be required to do this and then at least double that if you'll be working alone. It can be done with planning and determination however if you have a day job it can take decades to pull it off by yourself. Yes a lot of the second owners issues could be viewed as self inflicted but its still a sad tale of a dream that ended badly for two men along with their families and spanned almost 40 years:  

many thanks for your sincere responses. actually we are sure about giving the plan to the shipyard to build the hull firstly. also we are in touch with our 2 friends in this sector who will help finding the builder and etc. the thing that we are not sure about yet, is to continue the project by ourselves or to let the ship yard finish it after the hull is built. so we will need extra advice and technical support during the process. as far as i heard bruce roberts is not efficient enough on this. as you know, it is important for us to get online support from the designer about revising the interior (if necessary) or anything. who do you suggest considering this?

I have not sailed on the Med so I am somewhat going on second hand information. My understanding is that (depending on the season) the Med has a strange mix of very light winds most of the time, with long periods of very high winds in between. I am quite familiar with the Roberts Spray designs, and frankly that would be close to the worst design you could chose to build for those types of conditions. The Spray is a high drag design with comparatively little stability for its drag. Because of that the choice of rigs tend to be extremely inefficient as well. This results in a boat that is essentially a motorsailor in light to moderate winds, and which is not particularly good in heavier winds. Steel is a really crummy material to use for boats under about 13.5 meters since there is a minimum plate thickness that can be used because of localized bending and so steel boats become excessively heavy. Having worked on the design for steel boats, and seen how they hold up over time, they are comparatively high maintenance and in most cases short lived compared to the other choices. That heavy weight of a steel hull results in a mix of poorer sailing ability, less stability, poorer motion, and less carrying capacity than a similar design executed in almost any other material. While steel has a very high strength per square area, it is also extremely dense. The net result is that compared to pretty much any other boat building material, on a pound for pound basis, steel is the weakest of the possible boat building materials to chose from. If you really want a metal boat, I would strongly suggest that you consider aluminum rather than steel. But in any event, if you have your heart set on steel construction, then I would look at Dudley Dix's designs. Dudley tends to produce designs with efficient hullforms and rigs. His drawings tend to be very complete and more fully explain how his boats are actually built. The details that I have seen have been very clever in terms of simplifying construction while producing structurally sound designs. He would be my first choice if that I was leaning towards a steel hulled design. There are other very high quality designers out there as well. As mentioned Ted Brewer has produced some very nice designs aimed at steel construction. I think his Kaiulani 38 is a particularly nice design. Van De Stadt has a number of nice designs. I was recently acquainted with their Helena 38 which appears to be an exceptionally nice design. I have not seen a set of Van De Stadt drawings but they have a reputation for producing well detailed and engineered designs and providing excellent customer support. I really liked some of Charlie Wittholz's designs. (I worked for him three decades ago) But Charlie has passed on and I can no longer find a source for his designs. I really liked his 'Departure' series. They were nice wholesome designs. But cutting to the chase, building any boat is wildly expensive proposition, and the cost of the drawings (even if you pay a couple thousand Euro higher price for the drawings) is the smallest part of the cost. Because of that pick the best design that you can find. Building a wildly out of date, poor sailing design, only results in creating a boat that will be joyless to own and difficult to resell. Respectfully, Jeff  

A friend of mine used to do steel hull plate inspections and the saddest thing to see for him was the look on a pleasure boat owners face after telling him his steel hull had thin spots and had to have bottom plates replaced before it could be put back into the water and still covered by his insurance. Overbuilding with heavier plate staves this off to a degree however at the sacrifice of capacity, etc. Keeping up with the sacrificial anode inspections and replacement helps too. He inspected Commercial, Coast Guard and Private vessels however a careless welder injured him cutting through a bulkhead out into a passageway that was not blocked off and he left steel boat building and refitting for a safer field of engineering. The hot slag hit him on the side of his face and got into one ear. He now works at a smaller firm as a land based civil engineer and is very picky about sites he will even set foot on if safety appears the least bit lax. He still loves boats and is between boats right now.

Boat: None at this time
 but Boracay's above is something to be considered. Many sailors as they age switch over to trawlers and love it. You still have the beauty of living on the and with a where you don't have to have the agility of a teen age girl to do the that a requires or the strength and stamina required to sail her.
31-08-2011, 02:37  
if you need it to, going down the , for instance, because it is stable with a deep and carries lots fo fuela nd , 300 gallons of each, but also can be sailed handedly, with her rig and flexible sail plan. Get and your are in business. She's comfortable, able, safe, and fun to sail hen she gets going.

 is much harder. For those first trips, the stress level will probably be high, and it will seem less fun. This is where you need a mentor. Either a friend or a hired instructor will help you get over the awkward stage gracefully.

2. Stop letting yourself be disappointed by bad brokers. Many buyers with less experience get a buyer's to help them. The two brokers split the commission. May be worth it.

3. Don Casey has a great little book on inspecting used sailboats yourself. Bring the book and a flashlight and go over the whole thing yourself. Not a replacement for a , but you'll learn a lot about build and quality on your own and can save on surveys of that aren't up to snuff. You'll also just learn a lot. - Become the Confident Skipper of Your Own Sailboat

Boat: 14 meter sloop
 of a week you've gone from being interested in a 39 to a Whitby 42. Those aren't even related to each other. Honestly, they are designed for a completely different market, with completely different rigs and completely different hull/keel configurations. Very few people interested in a boat like a would also want to look at a Whitby. It's kinda like saying you can't decide between a Porsche roadster or a Chrysler minivan.

Figure out what you want to do with a boat first. Are you interested in club ? If not, stop looking at racer/cruisers. Are you interested in passages? If not....

 , precisely because they are so freakin' different. One's for blasting around with not much more than a lunch bag for cargo, and the other is for a stately with long-term independence from the shore.

I like sailing them equally well, but for entirely different reasons and working from a completely different set of principles.

 . This rules our sea trials this year, but since I am completely green, a sea trial won't be meaningful to me. So on the balance, maybe a good thing. I don't imagine anyone would agree to a closing date in the spring, but you never know.

Probably the next practical step would be to establish a presence in Belleville by showing up with next year's dues, looking like a puppy, and seeing if I can get anyone to take me under their wing. Make sure I avoid embarassing things like showing up with a 42 foot boat and maybe finding out that the maximum size is 35. Or maybe finding that there are no spots available at all.

Another thing that occurred to me was to practice surveying random boats at the pier to make sure I understand what I am inspecting, and remember to do it when it comes time to do it for real. Sort of develop my system and routine. One of my has about a 5 page checklist as a starting point.

Everyone have a good day.

 and the is oversized and very robust.the thing that I dont like is there is not a way to remove the sole without major effort...they are easy to singlehand and although at first a little she settles down and has a very nice motion and will take anythying you can throw at her.Any way thats what I think about them and I also saw that it is a boat that Ewan Cambell(I dont know who he is)placed in his Hall Of Fame of sailboats...Good luck in your recovery and hunt for the right boat..Daryl

Description

“Grayling” is an Ocean Winds 33 catamaran designed by Pat Patterson and built by

Symon’s Boatyard in Plymouth England in 1979. Patterson took an Ocean Winds and followed Drakes circumnavigation route around the world, via Magellan Straits. This is documented in book of voyage, “In The Wake Of Drake”, which is included in onboard library. It is a very study boat and comfortable for a cruising couple or live aboard with a surprising amount of room and storage for a 33 ft boat. Size makes it easier and less expensive to find dock space and to repair. It will fit most marina travel lifts.

 Shallow draft and shorter mast allows access to places many sailboats can’t go. Well protected cockpit and large deck space are appreciated under sail and at anchor. “Grayling” has often been a popular gathering spot for sundowners and shared meals when sailing with groups. 2 stateroom design with one that can be converted to office/workshop space.

The Musings of a Hopeless Wanderer

Engaging in the eternal search for the meaning of life...or a good time.

Tackling moscow by train and boat.

Our first full day in Moscow started fairly late since we were still catching up on sleep.  Around 1, we finally were able to get our act together and get out the door. 

We stopped by a cafe to get some breakfast and headed over to the Red Square.  Since the festival is going on, we had to go through metal detectors.  Once we cleared security, we reached the State Historical Museum which provided an entrance to the Red Square.

murray 33 sailboat

We walked the length of the Red Square, passing by the Kazan cathedral.

murray 33 sailboat

Under normal conditions, the Red Square is a large walking area with the State Historical Museum on one end and St. Basil's on the other end.  On the sides is the Kremlin wall on one side and then the GUM shopping mall and the Kazan cathedral on the other side.  Presently, the walking area has been considerably narrowed and the fesitval grounds occupying a large space between the Kremlin and the mall.

We even asked a stranger to take our picture!

murray 33 sailboat

After walking around the Red Square, we had to leave to meet up with our Metro Tour.  

Moscow has famously pretty metro stations so metro tours are quite popular.  We booked a relatively inexpensive tour through a tour group which met outside of the Red Square.

On our way, we passed by the Kremlin gardens and the tomb to the unknown soldier and the eternal flame.

murray 33 sailboat

We soon met up with our group which, fortunately, was only 5 people.  Our guide told us that we were going to visit 8 stations during the 1.5 hour tour.  

Honestly, a lot of the stations blended in to me so I won't be able to give you a detailed description of all of them.  However, I did learn that there are 222 metro stations and the trains come every 2-3 minutes reliably.  For that reason, Moscow > DC. 

One of the first metro stations we visited had bronze statues all over of various depictions.  Many of the statues had superstitions tied to them.  For example, for a statue of the dog, it's held that if you rub the nose of the dog, you'll have good luck.  Consequently, most of the statue is tarnished - except for the nose.  I joked to Tomas that they probably rotate the "good luck" portion of the statue to ensure the entire statue gets polished.

However, I do remember some of the stations.

Novoslobodskaya is a station adorned with stained glass on the walls.

There was also Belarusskaya, which paid tribute to Belarus.

Another station which name I cannot remember but had pretty mosaics in the ceilings.

murray 33 sailboat

My favorite station was Komsomolskaya.  It's the busiest station and a hub for other connecting trains.  It was built during Statlin times and he wanted the station to embody beauty to set a good first impression to Russia.

I'd seen pictures of it beforehand since it's the most famous but it's so much more impressive in person.

Look at these ceilings!

murray 33 sailboat

Overall it was a very interesting tour.  Not sure of any other city which could offer a metro tour.  DC certainly can't...

After the tour, we headed back of the hotel to rest for a bit.  We had purchased tickets to a tour hour boat down the Moscow river.  The tickets were good for any time on any day and the boats left every 20min.  We decided to knock the tour out that day and headed over to the pier.  

We arrived at the pier and saw a boat by the company we had purchased from boarding.  We approached and they shook their head and said it wasn't the right boat. 

So we waited for another boat.

Another boat came along by the same company we had purchased from so weapproached them.  Again - we were told it wasn't the right boat and the boat we were looking for was coming.  

A third boat came along which was NOT by the company we had purchased from.  By this point, it had been longer than 20min waiting and I was starting to suspect that the correct boat was actually one of the ones which turned us away.   We approached the 3rd boat to ask if they knew which boat we should be on.  However, when we approached,  they waved us aboard without scanning our tickets.

So, we boarded the 3rd boat....which was definitely not ours.

We settled into an upper deck, open air table to take in the views.

We passed by pretty buildings.

The somewhat impressive cathedral of Christ the Savior.

After about hour on the cruise, Tomas remarked that it had been about an hour so we should be turning around soon.  I reminded him that we actually had no idea how long this cruise was or where we would be dropped off.  Since we were on the wrong boat.

Fortunately, it did turn around and took us back to the pier.  

For dinner, we decided to go to this burger place, Black Star Burger, which our guide told us about.  Tomas really liked his - I thought mine was OK.  It was a decent size patty with a mountain of Cole slaw on top.  We've realized that apparently Russians dislike getting their hands dirty while eating so some restaurants will give out gloves to use.  This particular restaurant gave out black gloves.

Tomas modeling our dinner.

murray 33 sailboat

Since little mum has been asking about pictures which show my feet, I assume she wanted to see my new shoes.  I recently bought Allbirds which are suppose to be super comfortable walking shoes which you wear without socks and can be washed.  I didn't wear them too extensively beforehand, so that was probably my first error.  I also didn't bring another pair of good walking shoes,  which was likely my second error.  The Allbirds were great the first two days without socks.  Midway through the third day, my right foot was quite unhappy. Left foot was a trooper. So, now I have a bandaid on the heel of my right foot and wear socks.

Superyacht sinks latest: Investigators reveal where bodies were found as probe looks at 'crew's responsibility'

Italian officials revealed at a news conference there could be "a question of manslaughter" as they opened a shipwreck investigation and said the probe is also looking at the "crew's responsibility".

Saturday 24 August 2024 18:33, UK

  • Superyacht sinking

  • Prosecutor: There 'could be a question of manslaughter'
  • Probe 'concentrating' on crew's responsibility
  • Seven bodies recovered after five-day search of superyacht wreckage off Sicily
  • Saturday's papers pay tribute to youngest victim Hannah Lynch
  • Hannah's sister pays tribute to 'my little angel'
  • Explained: Inside the superyacht | What challenges have faced divers?
  • Eyewitness: Sombre scenes greet rescue teams as final body is brought ashore
  • Live reporting by Niamh Lynch

We're ending our live coverage for this evening but here is a recap of what we know:

  • Prosecutors have opened a manslaughter investigation into the Bayesian sinking;
  • Officials have revealed more details on their investigation and the difficult five-day rescue mission;
  • The six bodies found during the search in recent days were all in cabins on the left-hand - and highest - side of the ship. Five were found in the first cabin and the sixth was found in the third;
  • Prosecutors said the six passengers were most likely asleep when the boat sank;
  • The probe is now focusing on the crew and their responsibilities, with the captain set to undergo more questioning.

Monday 19 August

The Bayesian yacht, flying a British flag, sinks at around 5am local time when the area was hit by a tornado.

Fifteen people are rescued from the 56 metre vessel - including a mother and baby - but another seven remain missing.

One body, later confirmed to be the yacht's chef Recaldo Thomas, is found near the wreck.

It emerges that British technology tycoon Mike Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter Hannah are among six people that remain missing.

Tuesday 20 August

The search continues for the six tourists missing.

It is reported that among those missing are Morgan Stanley International chairman Jonathan Bloomer; his wife, Judy Bloomer; Clifford Chance lawyer Chris Morvillo; and his wife, Neda Morvillo.

Police divers try to reach the hull of the ship, resting at a depth of 50 metres.

Italy's fire brigade Vigili del Fuoco say early inspections of the wreck were "unsuccessful" because of limited access to the bridge and furniture obstructing passages.

The operation is later described as "complex", with divers limited to 12-minute underwater shifts.

Tributes pour in for Mr Thomas, with his friend Gareth Williams saying: "I can talk for everyone that knew him when I say he was a well-loved, kind human being with a calm spirit."

Wednesday 21 August

The search for the six people unaccounted for enters a third day, with crews carrying out inspections of the yacht's internal hull.

A team of four British inspectors from the Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) arrive in Porticello to look at the site of the sinking.

A helicopter is drafted in to help with the search effort and remotely controlled underwater vehicles are being used, with naval units and cave divers also taking part in the search.

Five bodies are found inside the yacht on Wednesday afternoon. Only four of them are brought to shore.

Body bags are seen being taken to Porticello in the afternoon where dozens of emergency services staff wait.

Searches finish for the day just before 7.30pm.

Thursday 22 August

The search resumes for the remaining missing person.

The body of the fifth missing person, found but not recovered the previous day, is brought to shore.

A fire service boat with flashing blue lights returns with a blue body bag to the port of Porticello just after 8.45am local time on Thursday.

Tributes pour in for Mr Lynch and Mr and Mrs Bloomer after they are identified as having died.

The search is called off at around 8pm in Sicily, with divers expected to begin again at 6.30am on Friday.

Friday 23  August

The search continues for the final person missing from the wreck of the Bayesian, Hannah Lynch.

Vincenzo Zagarola, of the Italian Coastguard, says the search for Hannah has not been "easy or quick", comparing the sunken yacht to an "18-storey building full of water".

The coastguard confirms in the late morning that her body has been found.

A green body bag is brought to the port of Porticello from the site of the sinking.

A spokesperson announces on behalf of the Lynch family that they are "devastated" and "in shock" after the deaths of Mike and Hannah.

Hannah's sister Esme pays tribute to her "little angel".

Saturday 24 August

A press conference is held in the court of an Italian town, Termini Imerese.

Public prosecutor Ambrogio Cartosio tells reporters that his office has opened an initial investigation against unknown persons into manslaughter and negligent shipwreck.

As the focus now turns to the manslaughter investigation, here's another reminder of the seven victims of the sinking and the 15 people who survived. 

A close friend of the Lynch family has added to the chorus of tributes for British tech tycoon Mike Lynch, who died in Monday's superyacht sinking.

Susannah Gurdun, who lives in Suffolk, recalled being "daunted" when she first met Mr Lynch at a dinner party, before discovering he was "so much more than the corporate cliche".

"He was riveting.  He was funny, and kind, and endlessly interesting; capable of talking about anything and everything," she said.

Ms Gardun said the businessman also had a "thrilling ability" to make complicated subjects "accessible to those of us less blessed with a science acumen".

"In particular, he was wonderful with children.  I will never forget hearing him explain to a group of them - including our ten year old son - the physics of why the sky went pink at sunset," she said.

She went on describe Mr Lynch as a "true genius" and "phenomenal creative".

Ms Gardun said his daughter Hannah was also showing "serious literary promise", and added that it was "beyond tragic that we will never know where her own particular brilliance might have led".

"I still feel blessed to have shared that time with them in Spain.  Not just because I witnessed Mike’s incredible storytelling; but because I was given a chance of understanding what that moment said about all four of them as a united vibrant loving family," she said.

"He was an extraordinary human being and it was - truly - a privilege to have known him."

A yacht crew member who survived the sinking has paid tribute to Hannah Lynch, calling her a "diamond in a sea of stars".

Sasha Murray, chief stewardess of the Bayesian, has released a statement after divers recovered the final missing body from the wreckage, which is believed to be 18-year-old Hannah.

"Those who knew her will know that Hannah was a diamond in a sea of stars," she said.

"Bright, beautiful and always shining. What most people may not have seen was the extraordinarily strong, deep and loving relationship she shared with her parents, whom she adored more than anything. 

"While swimming with them she often said, if anything ever happened she would save them. 

"I have no doubt that the Irish, Latina fire that burns in her soul kept that spirited determination alive."

Ms Murray's statement comes as a new image of Hannah Lynch and her father Mike Lynch is released:

Prosecutors announced in this morning's news conference that they have opened a manslaughter and negligent shipwreck investigation.

Officials were unable to answer several queries from the media, saying they needed time to establish the facts, but what are the key questions facing prosecutors? 

Why weren't passengers who remained on board the vessel warned about escaping from the yacht?

The prosecutor in charge of the case, Raffaele Cammarano, suggested that some passengers may have been asleep when others were awake.

Asked why they were not woken up or alerted, he said that is something investigators are trying to work out from the statements of the survivors.

He called it an "essential" part of the inquiry.

Why were several of the passengers in one cabin?

The press conference heard several bodies onboard the sunken yacht were found in a single cabin which was not theirs.

Mr Cammarano said investigators currently do not know the reason for them being discovered in the same cabin.

The chief of the Palermo fire service, Bentivoglio Fiandra, said the yacht pinned to the right and suggested people tried to go on the other side, taking refuge in cabins in the higher part of the wreck.

Why did the boat sink?

The vessel had been deemed "unsinkable" by its manufacturer - Italian shipyard Perini Navi.

The Bayesian was hit by a downburst, according to Mr Cammarano, which are powerful winds that descend from a thunderstorm and spread out quickly once they hit the ground.

Officials will look into the safety equipment on the sunken vessel.

Mr Cammarano was asked about whether there is a black box and if the hatches were left open.

He said investigators do not have exact information about the black box and that the first phase of the inquiry will look into it.

Why were nearby vessels not similarly affected?

Another yacht, the Sir Robert BP, was about 150 to 200 metres from the Bayesian when extreme weather hit.

Its crew helped to rescue 15 people from the stricken vessel.

Italian officials said they would be looking at how the downburst could affect one vehicle and not other nearby vessels.

What weather warnings was the Bayesian alerted to?

Maritime director of western Sicily, Rear Admiral Raffaele Macauda, said the weather at the time of the yacht's sinking was abnormal and there was nothing to suggest such an extreme situation would arise.

He said there were forecasts of winds and a storm alert, but there was no warning of a tornado.

"Given that the conditions were such, there wasn't anything to suggest there could be an extreme situation arising," he said.

"There are vessels that can monitor, after all, these events and one would have thought that the captain had taken precautions."

How long will it take to recover the sailing vessel?

Mr Macauda could not confirm how long it would take to retrieve the shipwreck of the sunken yacht.

"Everything depends on the availability of the owners and the timeframe of the retrieval of the wreck and of course all that has to be submitted to the port authorities and in parallel of course there will be the inquiry results and it's only really then that we will be able to authorise the operation," he said.

"I can't say, like some experts who have already spoken on the subject, [said] that it will be eight weeks."

He made clear that the owners will bear the full cost of retrieval, although he could not estimate the figure.

Italian authorities detailed the challenging and meticulous rescue operation to recover the six missing people from the Bayesian wreck (see 9.18am post).

But why was the five-day search so difficult? 

Read more below...

More on this morning's press conference. 

One of the main updates from prosecutors was that they have opened manslaughter and shipwreck investigations after the deaths of seven people in the Bayesian sinking. 

Watch the announcement below...

Prosecutors have given a lengthy news conference this morning on their investigation into the sinking of the Bayesian. 

Read the full report on the prosecutors' probe below...

Marine investigator James Wilkes has been speaking to Sky News after this morning's press conference.

"Naturally, there are more questions than there are substantive answers at the moment - that's the nature of investigative work.

"Something forced that yacht to roll beyond its nominal stability limits, such that it wasn't able to right itself with the ingress of a certain amount of seawater that was coming into the yacht. 

"So the investigators are going to ask themselves one initial question - what must the conditions have been for this to happen? 

"Then they are going to look at the contributing factors to the yacht, sinking, and, and the unfortunate loss of life." 

Prosecutors said this morning that the future of the investigation is reliant on recovering the wreck. 

Mr Wilkes said the yacht is a "major piece of physical evidence in and of itself." 

"It's lying at 50 metres, which is a recoverable depth. 

"If it was significantly deeper, then I'm not sure they'd be considering salvage at this stage or certainly, the salvage question would be a lot more complicated to answer. 

"But if there was the ability to raise that yacht in one piece safely, then it gives the investigators physically more to look at."

Mr Wilkes said he was unsure if the yacht would have a "black box" - called a voyage data recorder in shipping. 

"It would record things like GPS position, heading speed, engine telemetry, whether the radars were on, what they were recording, alarms, communications from the yacht itself, any audio on the bridge.

"But more often than not, these are on merchant ships. The yacht was a commercial yacht in the sense that it could be chartered out so it's quite possible it has a voyage data recorder on, but I'm not sure that it does. I don't know that as a matter of fact," he said.
