Tycoon Mike Lynch’s superyacht sank because it was vulnerable to wind, a report claimsLynch, 59, died as the yacht sank

Brit tech tycoon , 59, and daughter , 18, were among seven killed in the disaster.

An interim report by the Marine Accident Investigation Branch said the yacht had a “vulnerability”;; to lighter winds but the owner and crew would not have known.

It added it had “limited verified evidence”;; as the probe in Italy had restricted its access.

Andrew Moll, chief inspector of marine accidents, said: “The findings indicate that the extreme wind experienced by was sufficient to knock the yacht over.

“Further, once the yacht had heeled beyond an angle of 70° the situation was irrecoverable.

“The results will be refined as the investigation proceeds, and more information becomes available.”;;

Five people were injured “either by falling or from things falling on them”;;, while the deck hand was “thrown into the sea”;;, a report said.

Two guests used furniture drawers “as an improvised ladder”;; to escape their cabin.

The skipper instructed guests and crew on an area of the deck to “swim clear of the mast and boom as the vessel was sinking”;;.

Survivors later made their way onto a life raft released from the Bayesian.

They went on to be rescued on a small boat dispatched by yacht Sir Robert Baden Powell, which was also at anchor nearby.

A search was conducted of the accident site.

All the bodies of those who died were subsequently recovered by the local authorities.

Mike’s daughter Hannah was also killed in the disaster
