Re: Sailboat on the beach at Treehouse?
The standing and running rigging is worth way more then an anchor and bow pulpit. The Sails and Hardware (winches, cleats and blocks) alone have a tremendous value in addition to the electronics (ie. navigation, radar, depth sounders etc). I certainly hope others will respect the vessel until the situation can be resolved or the owner agrees to release the boat and title for salvage. "There are 2 types of sailors, those who have run aground or those who are so new to sailing, it hasn't happened yet"

I wish the marine police would just tow it out and send the guy a bill.

Yep looks like the keel is buried now
Re: Sailboat on the beach at Treehouse?
Rumlover, thanks very much for the updated pics!! Being mid February Negril is full of Boardies so no shortage of cameras and Iphones to keep up the great work of kwhizz!!
kwhizz, the boat sitting straighter and higher out of the water........Not a good sign?? Why? Does it mean that the keel is again sinking deeper in the sand?? My opinion is that the owner of the boat isn't showing much effort in saving it much now after the attempts made over the past few weeks. Does anybody know if in fact that the people that were on board the boat when it beached are even the actual owners??? Something not right here??
