This yacht rented for some $225,000.00/week US, and I assume had its
staffing onboard then.

I'm not aware if a staff member was awake then, but these factors may
be related to this accident:

1.  On another yacht, "we had to start the engine to keep the ship in
an angled position," (unknown if Bayesian's engine was active) and

2.  the yacht's mast broke, and  it stood "72.27 meters (237 feet)
high above the designated water line."  

In a storm any ship should be in an angled position with respect to
the incoming waves. 

I suspect when the mast broke, this event may have busted the yacht.

I'm sure structural engineers will be evaluating this accident.
