your Bayesian yacht is an outlier adn should not be counted
A Times investigation has found that an unusually tall mast, and the design changes it required, made a superyacht owned by a British tech mogul vulnerable to capsizing.

Some innocent people died so it's sad stuff, but I can't get past the fact that they named a top heavy weirdly balanced yacht the Bayesian.
Well on the bright side naval engineers will be able to update their
driverspriors after this perfectly engineered unsinkable sink sa--“This boat had definite shortcomings that kind of uniquely made it vulnerable to what happened.”
“people would take photos of it constantly because it was so crazy-looking in comparison to other boats.”
Philipp Luke, a Dutch naval architect, started violently shaking his head. “No, no, no,” he said. “You don’t do that.”
“When I first saw this, I couldn’t believe it,” said Mr. Roberts, the naval architect. “It made no sense to me.”
“Technology moved on,” Mr. Costantino said.
Oh.
I don't know. I feel like the prior for putting tech billionaires on massive single-masted yachts with high waterlines and low air vents is still pretty positive. This is only one bad voyage; consider how many trips provide evidence that this is a good plan.
Much like Titan, which had several successful voyages to the Titanic that other billionaires should seek to emulate by using the exact same sorta-procen design and construction that Titan did.
Still think this is a bit expensive, both on cost and collateral damage. Popularizing being your own helicopter pilot among the mega rich is a tried and true tactic.
The boat wasnt called that at first, the guy who ordered it gave it a different name. Guess he sold it as the weirdest HP assassination play
