Matt Lewis was an ambitious 23-year-old fisheries biologist when he set foot aboard the 144-foot Sudur Havid, an aging longline trawler casting off for South Atlantic and Antarctic waters in search of Patagonian toothfish–or “Chilean sea bass,” as it’s better known on your dinner plate. A quick–and underrated–bilge-pump replacement, along with a short but dire series of events led to the boat’s sinking. Of all the 38 crew aboard, Lewis was, as his book’s title suggests, the last man off, and one of 21 survivors. In this episode of the Power and Motoryacht podcast he sits down with Senior Editor Owen Burke to tell his tale and reflect on the tragedy.

You can get Matt's book "Last Man Off: A True Story of Disaster and Survival on the Antarctic Seas" on Amazon. ▶

The sinking of the 160-foot Perini Navi Bayesian has taken the world by storm and that makes sense, the story seems to have it all: Tragedy, a superyacht, a billionaire, a freak weather event, conspiracy theories, intrigue. What stood out to us as we read the reporting on this yacht sinking was just how many apparent falsehoods were being reported and how misunderstood the yacht industry is. While there is still so much unknown about the Bayesian sinking we knew that some of these falsehoods needed to be addressed, which brings us to today’s guest, world renowned yacht designer and naval architect, Bill Prince who also happens to be a friend and an exceptionally popular Power & Motoryacht columnist. He helps us to separate fact from fiction.
