My two cents. I remember reading this accident back in 2016. The main cause after that report made me think it was more, "inexperience and lack of common sense on part of the crew". The crew were not up to the task and it is a shame a quality built boat was abandoned and lives were lost. Pick your crew wisely. I'd rather have a couple McGivers than a half dozen Bill Murray's.
You don't have to have Volvo experienced guys but you need people who can identify a problem and work through to a fix.
