The Ocean Sailor Podcast : Episode 6 - Operation Ocean Shield with Commander Gerry Northwood OBE - Part 2

In May 2023, the sailing world was shaken by the tragic sinking of Bayesian, a British-flagged superyacht anchored off Sicily. Today, the UK’s Marine Accident Investigation Branch has released its interim report on the sinking—and it’s raising important points, especially about the actions of the crew.   This is Ocean Sailor — and today we’re diving into what the MAIB has revealed so far, and why it matters.   #OceanSailing #BluewaterSailing #Seamanship #OffshoreSailing #SailingLife #SailboatLife #PassagePlanning #MaritimeSafety #SailingSafety #MarineAccident #MAIB #YachtSinking #SafetyAtSea #BayesianSinking #bayesianyacht #MAIBReport #SailingNews #SailingCommunity #SailingDiscussion #YachtDesign #SailboatConstruction #OceanGoingYachts #StructuralIntegrity #ModernYachts #OceanSailor #SailingChannel #SailingYouTube #SailingDocumentary #OceanSailorChannel

We're back! After a brief hiatus, Dick Beaumont and Dick Durham return to the Ocean Sailor Podcast Season 2—and they’re diving straight in with one of the biggest questions in sailing: How much does it really cost to sail around the world?
