They have large tides there 7-10m (compared to less than 1m in Perth) so probably hit it submerged and by the time the picture was taken it ended up like this.. I love the way the anchor was put out.. just in case it floated away ��

Fin ripped out ?
Maybe that’s. Why the loss adjuster has seemingly gone for scapage ?

On the plus side it won’t drag and launching the tender was easy.

Maybe the anchor was deployed to prevent the rock from moving and endangering other vessels?

Well lucky it’s not on IPS, could have be serious otherwise

An IPS powered boat would simply have sliced the top of the rock off, surely?

I think these days they’re called ‘Project’ boats :encouragement:

That is a really sad end for what looks like a very nice boat. Pleased no-one was injured or worse.

Comments on other previous threads have referanced that if the anchor is out then it affects to marine salvage legal situation, but I was never able to find an info on that so no idea if it is true. Maybe had engine failure and put anchor out to try to stop drifting to the rock or was trying to use it to pull the boat off before th tide went out.
