Our first yacht was a fin keel Foxcub. One time we ran aground and I asked Mrs K to hold onto the shrouds and lean out to make the boat heel and break free from the bottom. it worked, but it was a frosty sail after that.

Interesting
So they stole a yacht, got arrested, skipped bail, and then what? Stole another yacht? Back on the same one?
Does nobody at the BBC read what they've written?

They stole a yacht in the UK, were caught, skipped bail and stole another yacht in Portugal.

The bridge that the HR looses it`s mast in is automatic and connected to another bridge.
Her is a more skillfull way.

At least, assuming you could manage a good beat, you wouldn't need the bags
Should anyone plan on trying it: http://easycalculation.com/trigonometry/triangle-angles.php
(Handy site, btw.)
26 degrees of heel reduces the air-draught by a mere 10 per cent.
You might need some trig to see if passing under a bridge is possible, but you don't need it for the actual passage. Measure the height of the bag when fully loaded, make a mark on the halyard to give you the correct height of bag + halyard + mast fittings. If the bag is touching the water you will make it. If not, you are in trouble.
