A shipbuilding expert has said the Bayesian superyacht that sank on Monday was among the "safest".
Giovanni Costantino is the chief executive of The Italian Sea Group, which now owns the firm that previously built the yacht.
He told Sky News that this week's disaster off the coast of Sicily has left him "in a state of sadness on the one hand and disbelief on the other".
He said: "Being a Perini [ship] maker I know very well how ships have always been designed and built."
"Sailing ships, it is well known, are the safest in the most absolute sense," Mr. Constantino added.
"First, because they have very little surface compared to a yacht upwind. Second, with the structure, the drift keel... they become invincible hulls."
The Bayesian sank in the early hours of Monday morning off Palermo after a violent storm.
