Re: Sailboat on the beach at Treehouse?
I disagree with what Kold is saying here. All of the sails, standing rigging, radar, anchor, and other crucial gear looks intact. The only things that could have been stolen (without breaking inside, which doesn't appear to be the case) that aren't accounted for are electronics, and then only the displays. The boat looks to be in solid shape, and would certainly be worth $25k to have it hauled out to sea by a tug. But it's probably not that simple given the shallow depth, and the keel being buried. I doubt the keel itself is 7', that would make the draft something like 12', which would be crazy. The actual keel is probably 3-4' deep in the sand. Problem is you can't just hook up to the mast and pull it free, same for the deck cleats, they would just rip out. Had someone been able to weight the mast and put her on a lean prior to burying the keel, this could have been avoided. Can't do that now, as the stress would destroy the mast step.
Not sure what the solution is, but as I see it dredging is the only viable option without further damage to the vessel.
