Its up and free - but listing precariously to the portside. They should probably lower and rebalance.

Omg these guys are so freakin slow....only in Jamaica... no problem
At 17 plus tons they better be slow. Being hasty could end in a very bad day.....
True but pain full to watch
Last evening the boat was successfully lifted out of water and placed on truck/trailer ready to be moved
Saw picture of it on the trailer last evening on my wife's facebook ... don't know if it is still on the beach this morning

Sometimes it's better to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission.
Now to move it across the beach. Where is the nearest road access? Might need a tow truck for the tow truck for the flatbed truck...
I'm thinking power lines. The mast will probably need to be removed.
It's such a shame they couldn't have done this a few months ago. Surely this equipment was always available.

Stuck in the sand due to weight

In hindsight, it might have been better to load it on the flatbed and then have a tug boat tow the flat bed out to see until the boat floats. Cut the straps and get the trailer back to the beach. Pretty much any larger boat could tow the sailboat to safe harbor at that point. This is turning out to be as hard to solve as the COVID.
