Sad.How on earth did they remove the mast in one piece?

No obvious damage to the hull though - tough stuff, GRP.

Isn't there a big gash on the port side?

There was no sign of water running out of the hull so my guess is that the marks on the side were rubber stains from the tires used to cushion the hull. They did well to get the gear trucks and cranes organised before it was damaged too much.
On the other hand there is no excuse for a boat coming adrift. Poor maintenance of mooring tackle perhaps. All horrible stuff olewill

I thought the marks on the port side were the tape cove lines having been smeared up the hull. The shape still seemed perfectly fair.

Hi Guys
I'm the videographer that recorded the rescue of the yacht "Raging Bull. Here's a photo of the hull with a dirty big hole in it.
