''Bayesian'' was a sailing superyacht, built as ''Salute'' by Perini Navi at Viareggio, Italy, and delivered in 2008. It had a mast, one of the tallest in the world. The yacht was last refitted in 2020. It was in the legal ownership of Angela Bacares, wife of the technology entrepreneur Mike Lynch. It was at anchor off the northern coast of Sicily near Porticello on 19 August 2024, when it was struck shortly before dawn by a powerful storm and sank. Provided by Wikipedia
