The bloke on the nearest boat who went to help said the Bayesian was 'moving fast'. Must have been the anchor dragging/chain breaking.
The divers are apparently saying there was a hatch open, but this hasn't been confirmed. They've not said whether the mast was broken. Presumably they can't see it and they can't go and look because they need to concentrate on the hull. They've also said the hull is 'intact'. So if there's no hole in the hull the water must have got in some other way, i.e. hatches or maybe broken windows/portholes. But it's so dark down there I doubt anyone will know much more until they raise the wreck.
The skipper has been interviewed by investigators. They've asked him about the keel, which apparently was partially down. Nobody seems to know whether it could or should have been fully down.
Some of the experts are saying that given the forecast of stormy weather the crew should have told the guests to stay awake and wear life jackets.
Then there's the question of why the survival rate of the crew was so much higher than the guests. Maybe the crew were much quicker to leave their cabins when the boat was first thrown around? They would have known that it was their job to get on deck asap. But the guests might have waited, wondering what to do, waiting for instructions. And guests in large cabins with double beds could have been thrown some distance when the boat was knocked down, unlike crew in compact berths.

I would imagine that the crew has had to react to a crisis in the past that didn't involve a small wobble on the Stock Market. They are also more likely to be relatively fit and decent swimmers. There's a strong chance that they've relied on themselves to survive, not paid someone else to do it for them.

Couldn't that just be the anchor dragging / chain breaking in extreme conditions?
