[@smacksman1]

My 2c on how it may have happened. Ran out of fuel > onshore breeze > ran aground > rudders get pushed into hulls > sinks > owners walk ashore > contact insurance > local assessor checks the wreck > insurance contacts Sea Tow and agrees salvage terms > salvage commences > salvage successful > well done all involved and still a lovely clean beach.

[@seandelaney1700]

Good point about the rudders, that would explain why a "soft beach landing" would have so compromised the hulls. Even though it took days to recover, it would appear that SeaTow got it on their own salvage rights, hoping to charge the insurance company, which seemed to balk at the idea.

[@carolinabeacher1558]

my guess is they had it moored and the waves were breaching into the rear of the boat. rogue waves happen quite often, once the rear lowered it made it easier for water to enter those whole boat.

[@kolsen6330]

Even if his nav equipment failed, why did he keep sailing. I would guess he put it on the rocks at night. How hard is it to watch the depth sounder or stop and anchor for the night. If you are that worried about position, tow the anchor under the boat with about 40 feet of rode. Definitely will tell you when the water shoals. Oh well.

[@raynic1173]

I did NOT renew my Seatow membership, very disappointed in their service.

[@nalabees]

details? or because of this bizarre in-room-hotel-ad-channel that just replays over and over...

[@raynic1173]

Well for seven years i paid my seatow membership fees. About three months after signing up I needed their service do to a grounding with my sailboat. They took ~3 hrs. to get to me which was a ridiculous amount of time. The captain said he got a rope caught in his propeller and that's what delayed him. When I originally gave him my location he said it would take 45 mins. to get to me, and then I had to instruct him on how to get the boat free, but ok, we got it done. So for the next seven years I kept up my membership. Then one day I am at work, actually on my way home, and I get a call from a friend of mine informing me that by boat was free and washed up on a sandy area. I called Seatow and asked them to meet me at the boat. They told me that because I wasn't on the boat their service no longer applies. I couldn't wrap my head around this concept and was totally p.o.ed. It ended up taking me and a friend three freakin hrs. to get the boat clear and re-anchored via the kedging technique. The dock where seatow kept their boat was maybe 1/2 mi. away and literally would have taken less than 1/2 hr. to complete. So the next day when I cooled off I called Seatow again and they said the same thing that because I was not on the boat the policy doesn't apply. The person I talked to could not explain the policy beyond that. So, during the next week I did some research and found out that policy mentions that this type of distress call is subject to the Coast Guards definition of a distressed vessel prior to (if memory serves) 1985. So what happened in 1985(?). was the CG changed the definition of a distressed vessel, they actually broadened the term because there was multiple insurance cases and lawsuits over the previous wording. Basically that a vessel can only be in distress while "underway", literally props turning or sails-a-flying, that even if it goes aground and engines cease, well it's at least at rest, so there's no longer eminent danger. Which of course can not be all inclusive of numerous ways and conditions a vessel can be in a precarious position. So, the best I can figure, Seatow uses the antiquated definition to avoid dealing with all the anchor dragging knuckleheads that are out there. And I actually get that, I have lived aboard for over ten years in Florida and 99 % of the boats I have observed that have "drug-up" had to do with either poor anchoring techniques or lack of attention. Which, if FWC is listening, that's your derelict boat problem! So that would be quite a load increase to boat service captain's and I understand that, it's amazing how often it does happen and usually the same offenders. But for me, I haven't called them for SEVEN freakin years and they could not offer me a half hour of their time, same on them. So I actually wrote an email to Seatow explaining my story and even my solution. Which is to offer a once a year exception to the rule on the definition' where they would for any reason, respond to an anchored vessel in distress. I never heard a word from them, not one word! So the conclusion is they don't really care or they're to embarrassed to discuss or be called out on this issue. I never renewed my subscription. So this is one of their cute little secrets that they keep from their members, nice, mf-ers. But what's odd is that they do offer or used to offer a dock to dock tow service. Go figure?

[@DocScience2]

= @@raynic1173 = I just decided to read through several replies and came across your note here, half way through.. also only 1 day old. I have a question.. Why do these boats not have some type of float-able foam spayed into the less accessible hull parts, so that this dose not happen ?? - I have a friend who picked up a small mono-hull boat real cheap and decided to sail it home. Turned out that there was more rot in the boat than he knew about and looked like the base attachment for the main sail broke. He decided to just sink it just outside of the bay and cut his losses . he drilled several holes in the bottom and waited for her to sink out of sight, while waiting in the dory beside it. Turns out there was so much built in flotation in the hulls etc, that it was unsinkable. I guess no one explained that to him beforehand.

[@raynic1173]

@@DocScience2 I only know of one company that does that technique of adding foam to a mono hulled boat to make it unsinkable. The preferred method is to have foam between a double hull. The math is that you have to much displace the weight of the boat in volume of sea water. That's a lot of volume and sail boats are notorious for lack of space to begin with. Better to just make sure the boat and crew are sea worthy.

[@jimbosweeney]

I skipped so much of this disaster post, but I'd totally blame the captain on this one. Bad choice of anchorage spots for a boat that draws 6 feet, then more bad choices by inaction over the next few tides as the boat gets destroyed. I really love the comment at the end, "Now covered in barnacles, almost ruined..." Dude, barnacles are the least of your worries! That boat is TOTALLY ruined beyond imagination. I hope you never get boat insurance again, you make everyone's rates go up!! I admit I have had claims over the years, but not for incompetence, (dangerous anchoring / mooring), or negligence, (watching the vessel get eaten up by the sea over several tides without calling for assistance when you were obviously unable to rescue with your own resources). I have suffered insurance losses as a result of a lightning strike, two hurricanes, and a ground tackle failure resulting on a hard aground which was dealt with at the next tide cycle, (actually, no insurance claim on this one, paid out of pocket)... but you sat there and took videos while your, and the insurance company's, boat was destroyed.... unimaginable!
