Calls for Justice and Crew Safety Reforms

Paige’s parents have traveled to the Bahamas to assist with repatriation and pursue justice, while the yachting community mourns the loss of a promising young professional. Many are calling for stricter crew hiring procedures, including mandatory criminal background checks, to prevent similar tragedies in isolated and high-risk environments.

Crucial questions remain under investigation:

• What was Paige’s relationship with the accused engineer — friend, colleague, or otherwise?

• Was the attack premeditated or spontaneous?

• Did Paige attempt to defend herself, as suggested by defensive wounds on her arms?

• Were there prior complaints or warning signs aboard Far From It?

• How will this case influence crew safety policies across the yachting world?

Paige Bell’s story is a sobering reminder of the vulnerabilities faced by crew members. Her memory lives on in the hearts of those who knew her, in the calls for justice, and in ongoing efforts to ensure no one else suffers a similar fate.
