The Ouzo comment is overstating the case. This was almost certainly a catastrophic event and it is unlikely that a liferaft would have been deployed effectively. There are no reported cases in MAIB reports where a raft was successful in such (very rare) incidents. Wakhuna is a very different case as she took some (relative) time to sink and the abandon ship was in an organised manner. It was also almost calm and in daylight. However, in a similar case (Megawat) which also sank slowly after a structural failure, the raft failed to inflate. Fortunately there was another yacht close by which rescued the crew. Leave you to draw your own conclusions |
