In this photo taken previously it looks like the yacht is about to turn over. The water is right up to it.

How heroic effort went from rescue mission to recovery operation

Search teams made the tragic discoveries yesterday while scouring through the ruins of the luxury sailboat, which sank off the coast of Sicily after being hit by a waterspout on Monday morning.

There is no way that I would feel safe with a tilt of this magnitude. The people don’t look concerned though.

The sides don’t look as tall as they look on a regular yacht. I’m not familiar with the details but I’d call it a large sail boat.
