The Bayesian’s registered owner is listed as Revtom Ltd. The superyacht can accommodate up to 12 guests in six suites.
The yacht’s name is understood to be based on the Bayesian theory, which Mr Lynch’s PhD thesis was based on.
Mr Lynch’s wife Ms Bacares is named as the sole legal owner of Revtom, which is registered in the Isle of Man.
Mr Lynch’s wife, Angela Bacares, was one of the 15 people rescued.
A British mother and her one-year-old daughter also survived.
The mother, named locally as Charlotte Golunski, later described how she was holding her baby above the surface of the sea to save her from drowning.
She told Italian newspaper La Repubblica her family survived because they were on deck when the yacht sank.
She said they were woken by “thunder, lightning and waves that made our boat dance”, and it felt like “the end of the world” before they were thrown into the water.
“For two seconds I lost my daughter in the sea then quickly hugged her amid the fury of the waves,” the paper quoted her as saying.
Survivors said the trip was organised by Mr Lynch for his work colleagues.
In the initial aftermath, a nearby Dutch-flagged vessel rescued survivors from the waves, tending to them until emergency services arrived.
After the storm had passed, Captain Karsten Borner said his crew noticed the yacht that had been behind them had disappeared.
“We saw a red flare, so my first mate and I went to the position, and we found this life raft drifting,” he told Reuters.
That life raft was carrying 15 survivors, three of whom were “heavily injured”, he said.
