If the vessel was grounded during low tide, haul the boat anchor out beyond the surf line in it's dingy and drop it. Using the boat windlass, set the anchor and keep its anchor rode taught and the bow facing the surf. Wait for high tide and float away or kedge out into deeper water. Even if the boat were grounded during high tide, it was still moving about and not stuck. Setting a kedge anchor would have stopped it from rolling about on the beach and sustaining damage. It also would have been the "seaman" like thing to try..

That was a total waste of time. Think you’re going to move a 25 ton vessel with 3/8” poly? Good luck.

It’s not the rope. The boats pulling need more power and pulling in time with incoming waves that are actually lifting the boat.

Lots of fancy equipment and manpower but appears not much practical experience of removing a grounded vessel .

Lotta work for a boat that was in the custody of the authorities,( after they condemned the boat, and had the owners abandon it, due to possible child endangerment due to inexperience) This boat was in custody. How did it get loose, drift out of Marina del rey, and had two lifegaurd boats, watching it, as it beached itself? The lifegaurds could have easily thrown a line to it, and pulled it off, BEFORE it beached. The authorities gave the owners three days to effect repairs/get a captain to sail it. Only three days! This was staged to throw shade on liveaboard boats, outside the harbor.

Great try guys! Better to get it off the beach right away if possible. I believe that’s a Formosa 51 which have a full keel and weigh over 50,000lbs. It’s mizzen mast is missing. It had likely dug a nice hole in the sand rocking back and forth like that and will need more heavy equipment, probably an excavator to dig a trough, before towing it back to sea. They’re big and heavy but not always known for their quality of build so go delicately to avoid pulling it apart, that is if the waves don’t do it on their own. Stay safe and I hope your beach and waters remain clean and undamaged.

More likely a Formosa 44. The 51 had 3 portlights across the transom and are ketch rigged. Displaces 35,000 lbs, so still heavy

Aan de mast,minimaal bij de zaling vastmaken om te trekken. Dan een sleepboot erbij ipv een speelgoedboot

That Craft is STILL there. Just some orange cones around it. I think its going to become a tourist attraction for those Gilligan Island fans. 😮

That was never going to work. That's a very heavy displacement Formosa design...they may as well have requested volunteers to pee into the ocean in the hope of raising the water level. A higher tide or a dug channel are the only options.

Better call Saul. No experience here. Good effort wasted. The incoming waves were actually lifting the boat and no advantage of this taken.

Only a big tross, a strong winch and a big anchor about 100m away maybe could help in this situation.

should of put up biggest sails sheeted in and had big anchors winching in so not to loose ground gained by tow boats

Nope. That boat was in the custody of the authorities, just two days before. The owners were forced to go to canada, after the authorities gave them only three days to fix it.

@chrisgardner667711 күн бұрын
This was a dangerous and bad idea. A professional marine salvage crew should have been called. Ungrounding large vessels is not part of the job description for county ocean safety members. Block off the beach and keep people away until the pros pull the vessel off the beach.

@omicastonguay70057 сағат бұрын
Mine , authority only gave us less then 72hrs to fix and pay a captain to sail it back Canada. If we would have left the harbour on our own, they would have arrested us under federal offense. I prefer to be safe with my childs at home then homeless in the street of LA. Just as much it is sad to see , Don't trust the system to help you out when you have a little problem .

Its simple but those people are like clown . The boat is about 20 tonnes..you need a biger boat to take it off this place..nothing difficult with a long keel..I almost did it with mine and the rescue..😱😡👋😀⛵️🇨🇭
