A boat builder has walked free from a Sydney court after being acquitted of manslaughter charges over a yacht sinking that killed four people.
Keel welder Adrian Presland was found not guilty, but the NSW District Court jury is yet to reach a verdict on his co-accused Alex Cittadini, the director and engineer at Applied Alloy Yachts in Melbourne.
The yacht, Excalibur, hit rough seas near Seal Rocks off the NSW mid-north coast as it sailed from the Whitsundays to Sydney in September 2002.
