Yacht beached and freed

Do you think it was damaged ?

I'd want the rudder checked for a start, nice boat.

What a ghastly place to go ashore; love the final push from the crane !

Personally, I would have wanted a spreader rig on the crane. Lifting something the way they did puts undue stress on the lower side where the deck meets the hull. Something like the one below perhaps.

Also, what is it with this awful music everyone seems think goes with videos?

There must be some damage if only abrasion of the surface coating, but it doesn't look terminal. So much depends of the strength of the structure & the amount of pounding (duration & weight) & the nature of the beach. Sand is hard, very hard, but it forms to the shape of the hull & that spreads the loads. Pointy lumps of rock in the sand will punch holes thro the hull & can damage formers catastrophically, but I don't see anything like that there.

It's surprising how Concrete, GRP, wood & steel can take the punishment & still be repairable. Carries a lot of cost, pain & heartache tho.

It was in Bali, and I think they did well to get a crane and excavator. Did anyone else notice that the yacht's boom was missing?

EDIT: They were lucky to be ashore on sand, there was a rocky looking headland quite close.

Anyone else notice the man sitting on the pulpit picking his nose about 18 mins in? Good video though and a nice boat. Hope it wasn't too badly damaged.

This is how to get a boat off the beach (skip to 2:20 if you're impatient)

I am wondering if it might be a Hutting, built in Holland?

Speaking of grounding I saw a boat today just off North Connel below the Falls of Laura(Loch Etive) in full spate which didnt appear to be in the right place and no obvious mooring bouy!
I suspect it might have been blown across the chanel from the moorings off South Connel!

 

[dombuckley]

Boat in OP's video looks like a Standfast 40, a Dutch-built design from the 70s. If so, the hull is about 1.25" thick (foam core sandwich).

Ahhh, Rustler! THAT TO WHICH I ASPIRE. Beautiful boats
Roll-on the lottery win!

Any further info? NOT anice place to be, even if IN control of the situation.
