Lyme Regis - Yacht Ashore

[Pete7]

This is rather sad. Yacht went ashore on the beach at Lyme Regis this afternoon. I wasn't there, just browsing the harbour webcam. Seen earlier attached to one of the mooring buoys just outside the harbour entrance.

Beach life guard paddled a surf board out, but had difficulty in getting on the yacht. A rib seems to have taken it under tow and then stopped the tow. Yacht high and dry as the tide goes out.

That's someone's pride and joy.

That looks like a Nicholson 43. What a shame. Hope she can be refloated with little damage.

That's horrible. It was breezy today.

I think that explains the problem the life guard had trying to get on board. No swim platform and can be seen clinging on for dear life to the pulpit at one point, unable to climb up.

It is a nic 43

Very sad.

Lets hope the crew return after their ice cream, there is little damage and the scratches on the hull buff out.

Conditions look calm. I wonder who owns the mooring? From memory it is too far inshore to be a visitor mooring.

They are tough yachts and it looks calm. Tides heights are increasing so she will not be neaped and should float off soon.
It would be worth doing some digging around the keel to ensure she gets off before the easterly winds on Thursday and Friday.
A kedge anchor to the spinnaker halyard should heel her enough to get off easily.
I hope there is minimal damage.

There seem to have been some progress overnight. Somehow she's been turned on the last high tide to face SE.

Cross fingers for the next tide.

Still on the beach 10.45 Sunday

Sad but a Big heavy boat for those moorings.

 

[sarabande]

Hmmm, check the time on the webcam above . And also the next high tide at Slyme Regis 1744. It's 0.23m higher than this morning's.

A SWW F4.

Could be useful to refloat her.

Watching the Lyme webcam. Tide coming in now, that boat is moving about a bit but I don’t see any sign of a recovery party.

EDIT 14:30 looks like a boat there now.

 

[Sticky Fingers]

15:07 got a line onto it and attempting to pull off.

Google has failed me in my search for a Lyme Regis webcam showing the boat. Plenty of other views though. Do you have a link, please?
