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...
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.
