stock here: we covered this in detail. It was a very poorly designed ship. The claims that it was unsinkable were bordering on reckless endangerment.
Giovanni Costantino said, “The ship was an unsinkable ship. I say it, I repeat it.” Costantino is a despicable person defending an “unsinkable” sailing yacht with a very low downflooding angle of 42 degrees. 42 degrees is at best a rum palace suitable for coastal cruising. And they didn’t dare to put the number in the stability booklet, instead they marketed the yacht as an ocean cruiser so no one knew how bad and dangerous it was. An angle of 70.6 degrees of vanishing stability is a joke for a yacht marketed as an ocean going yacht
