Lifeguards attempt to remove Beached Boat in Playa del Rey

[@jamesbaldwin7676]

If the vessel was grounded during low tide, haul the boat anchor out beyond the surf line in it's dingy and drop it. Using the boat windlass, set the anchor and keep its anchor rode taught and the bow facing the surf. Wait for high tide and float away or kedge out into deeper water. Even if the boat were grounded during high tide, it was still moving about and not stuck. Setting a kedge anchor would have stopped it from rolling about on the beach and sustaining damage. It also would have been the "seaman" like thing to try..

like watching a Laurel and Hardy movie

[@TheKaledonianz]

Absolutely! I had the misfortune of having to refloat my 42 foot motorsailer off a rocky beach after she came off her mooring. Spent the low tide night laying out anchors and winched her off as the tide rose.

[@alaingaillot5545]

Vous avez raison ,même si les deux vedettes ont de la puissance motrice ,elles manquent de coup( poids ) pour étaler les coups de boutoir ,l'aide d'un téléscopique avec une flêche longue aurait a n'en pas douter aidé a la manoeuvre .

[@jamesbaldwin7676]

​​@@alaingaillot5545 I'm not understanding your comment...What does boat weight (displacement) have to do with the blows or battering, the vessel is being subjected to? What "telescopic boom" are you referring to? (A bowsprit?) I suspect we may be experiencing some translation issues. Thanks

[@stevetadlock5223]

You can't accuse LA County of having anything "Seaman" like! Look how they have screwed up Avalon!

[@claudehopper9813]

Lots of fancy equipment and manpower but appears not much practical experience of removing a grounded vessel .

[@peterheiberg566]

That was a total waste of time. Think you’re going to move a 25 ton vessel with 3/8” poly? Good luck.

[@vicentesousa9186]

Arquimedes, alavanca! Física básica.

[@johnmartlew5897]

It’s not the rope. The boats pulling need more power and pulling in time with incoming waves that are actually lifting the boat.

[@thetabest]

Probably could've pulled on the mast as well, get the keel up higher by rotating the boat to starboard...

[@johnbowen2963]

lolol . Geza thay are DREAMING

[@22alisaxni]

First you close all openings, otherwise the boat will be flooded. Then you use the winches (plenty in a sailboat) to veer towards the opensea. Then a strong boat starts towing.If these helpers are paid by the hour, they will consume all 8hr to get their allowance

[@ginojoling]

Aan de mast,minimaal bij de zaling vastmaken om te trekken. Dan een sleepboot erbij ipv een speelgoedboot

[@Splash0921]

Great try guys! Better to get it off the beach right away if possible. I believe that’s a Formosa 51 which have a full keel and weigh over 50,000lbs. It’s mizzen mast is missing. It had likely dug a nice hole in the sand rocking back and forth like that and will need more heavy equipment, probably an excavator to dig a trough, before towing it back to sea. They’re big and heavy but not always known for their quality of build so go delicately to avoid pulling it apart, that is if the waves don’t do it on their own. Stay safe and I hope your beach and waters remain clean and undamaged.

[@1crustyoldmsgtretired870]

More likely a Formosa 44. The 51 had 3 portlights across the transom and are ketch rigged. Displaces 35,000 lbs, so still heavy

[@mikestone234]

Lotta work for a boat that was in the custody of the authorities,( after they condemned the boat, and had the owners abandon it, due to possible child endangerment due to inexperience) This boat was in custody. How did it get loose, drift out of Marina del rey, and had two lifegaurd boats, watching it, as it beached itself? The lifegaurds could have easily thrown a line to it, and pulled it off, BEFORE it beached. The authorities gave the owners three days to effect repairs/get a captain to sail it. Only three days! This was staged to throw shade on liveaboard boats, outside the harbor.

[@jamesgraham6122]

That was never going to work. That's a very heavy displacement Formosa design...they may as well have requested volunteers to pee into the ocean in the hope of raising the water level. A higher tide or a dug channel are the only options.

[@vance7274]

The mizzen has been removed, the main sheet is poorly snugged and the fore sheets are a total mess. The main mast is loose, shrouds have snapped, the upper spreaders have folded, and the boom is poorly secured. Stays are spooky loose. I don't see an anchor. This boat has sadly been neglected. Why was it off the mooring or out of the marina? Motoring to a boat yard for a re-fit? Shopping for an insurance claim? Stolen? The salvage team should add fees for recovering an unsafe vessel... Great effort by the lifeguards, but she's wallowing in quickly.

[@kirstenbiegger7062]

Only a big tross, a strong winch and a big anchor about 100m away maybe could help in this situation.

[@standubaj8989]

I’ve gotten 2 sailboats off from shore,first you don’t pull it from the bow, the keel is buried in the sand. I cranked a friend half way up the mast tied a line to the mast then the other end to the pulling boat ,this way you pull the boat over on its side and the keel is out from the sand,it will pull out sideways,sea tow was pulling with 2 boats over 2 days and finally told my friend he needs a salvage company,that’s when he called me,next day we had it out in 1 hour,yes I’m a sailer,🤙

[@chhindz]

should of put up biggest sails sheeted in and had big anchors winching in so not to loose ground gained by tow boats

not true, they nearly had it free at about 5:50. but unfortunatly they let the tension go, i would think holding that tension on and keep pulling it would have went free

This was a dangerous and bad idea. A professional marine salvage crew should have been called. Ungrounding large vessels is not part of the job description for county ocean safety members. Block off the beach and keep people away until the pros pull the vessel off the beach.

Let’s hope I never need rescuing from these so called life saving people! As stated previously, drag the anchor out with a decent rode on it around 100+ metres or two anchors at 60 degrees onto the 100 meter rode and just wait to the tide comes in, keeping it tight so as the yacht doesn’t just keep washing ashore on the incoming tide. The yacht should’ve had a decent tow rope onboard somewhere for these occasions instead of the rabbit lifesaving mob’s fishing twine!

[@mikestone234]

The authorities. Drug this boat out, and called in a “man overboard” search. While they purposely let this boat hit the shore. The owners had been relieved of this boat, three days earlier, it then was parked by the sheriff’s station. ( no way for it to get loose, unless they wanted it loose). I watched the entire thing. And know the people who owned it. I AM one of the boats, that is parked just south of the south entrance of Marina del rey.

[@jim1934]

@@mikestone234 Like I said, It's piracy....Doesn't matter whose flag the pirates are operating under. Where is it now? If the gov't paid to have a professional salvage crew to tow it free, it makes it more expensive for the owners to try to reclaim it. They are liable for the tow, and or for lawyers.

[@mikestone234]

@@jim1934 Jim, I know the people that had that boat. They were kicked off their own boat, after they got rescued for the third time. The coast guard, and the LA sheriffs dept told them to either fix the boat, and get a captain, or, if they were caught leaving, they would go to jail.( child endangerment). The cops gave them three days to get things in order.( impossible) The boat was confiscated, and tied up to the sheriff’s dock. A week later, after the kids went back to Canada, the lifeguards, and the sheriff, towed the boat out, sent up a “man over board” alert, and let the boat hit the shore. ( after the boat was confiscated). It is not the kid’s problem, anymore, especially since the local law enforcement did this as some kind of exercise. These kids gave me their anchor, and some other pieces of gear, just before the law took the boat. Now, please stop trying to read in, what isn’t there. I own one of the boats, that stays out there, I live in it. ( Texas flag) I watched the entire thing, and I have those kids in my phone book. The cops used it for their own Purposes. It’s all gone now. Crushed into a dumpster. End of The F-ing story.
