Sailboat on the beach at Treehouse?

Bah!

Duct tape and a little WD40 can fix that!

Pictures from today...……. Not too much progress and all the sand that was dug out has now been pushed back around the boat......In the last picture they added another drum (3 total) tied to the mast to keep the Keel at a angle so it won't bury itself deeper into the sand

Possibly waiting for full moon high tide February 9th it was moving around a bit yesterday after some more digging around it

Yesterday (Feb 1), they had a pump that was used to clean the sand around the keel. Keel was clear, and then used pump to fill barrels attached to halyard.

Boat heeled enough and was bobbing, meaning it was floating.

Had a large rope around the boat to a large concrete “anchor”, then through heavy tackle back to shore where digger was used to pull.

Anchor pulled free instead.

Thanks for the photos and updates. I've got to believe that there must be an expert with experience in Marine Salvage in JA or South Florida that could save this boat. No idea of the value or insurance coverage but it's got to be worth the cost to save it??

I don’t know anything but if they freed the keel and it’s on it side,wouldn’t that have been the time to try and tow it from the front to deeper water? The weight on the mast would have kept it on its side until it was deep enough to right it...
