Bad news Lady Anna Mooring ropes parted and vsl ran aground

[bigmoose]

hi all
following a storm on monday early morning the mooring ropes of lady anna parted and she ran aground at abt 5 am monday morning

she ran aground as the tide was going out and was refloated the same afternoon on the high tide

we have suffered some minor damage to the hull but a dive inspection shows no damage to the machinery

sunseeker engineers are on their way and vsl will be lifted out over the weekend
will let you know the progress

Best of luck! Hopefully nothing serious <crossing fingers> Never nice when one's pride and joy comes to grief.

I suppose good and bad news, could have been much worse praps drifting out to sea. Hope there's no serious damage and you're up and running again soon. Did she end up on sand?

Really bad luck, hope all goes well and doesn't cost too much.
Are there an lessons we can all learn from this...what went wrong....How are you going to make sure that the problem doesn't reoccur.

Hi Chetan - sorry to hear that. Must have been some mother of a storm to make your mooring lines part???

Hope you get sorted soon - best of luck!

Bad luck Chetan. Must have been some storm. All sounds quite repairable fortunately - I guess the sseeker guys will confirm if the shafts are bent or not. Did she sit on mud/sand when the tide went out? Hope all is fixed soon

sorry to hear this chetan, bad luck. Keep us posted on the dmagae. I would hope that a least one shaft is re-useable at least. The trim tabs will need attention.
