Reported that they were taking on water, could not find the leak and were diverting to the Azores. They were in contact at some point with home base. Several hours between problem reported and contact lost.
That being the case, they would have had ample time to prepare their survival gear.
Only questions are; were they properly equipped and how well did the evac. go ?
The company is well established and conducts offshore training, and competes in the Fastnet, so the kit will have been up to spec.
Weather reported as F9 strong gale, which should not be a problem for a boat that size, but evac. could be tricky. One report said the hull was seen, capsized. Worse case scenario is a rapid capsize, but the liferaft should have been set up for deployment even if this happened.
