An "inadequate lookout" likely contributed to a crash that resulted in the death of a South Bay boat captain and his crew during a race from Newport Beach to Ensenada, an independent sailing panel has found.

The US Sailing Independent Review Panel also concluded that the Aegean's skipper set coordinates that put it on a path into North Coronado Island and was motoring under autopilot as the craft approached the land mass.

Mavromatis' family disputes the report as premature.
