We had a fishing trawler that wound up I believe being a total loss cuz they couldn't get it unstuck from a similar situation. He was asleep and probably overworked, didnt think and had it on autopilot. I didn't get any more details but at least he was asleep...😅 personally, I'd rather have to loose an anchor than have to file an insurance claim.

@henkoosterhof5947 26 днів тому

Look at the line port side aft. That looks an anchor line to me. Whats the draught on the shore line say at 25/30 yards? If the line is to steep downwards the anchor wont hold. Its lifted by the rising boat.

@@JFunk717 i think i did. I see a line i think is an anchor line. So he was not stupid not to do so. But then you need weight to hold. Thats an anchor and chain. The chain must stay on the bottom. If not the boat going up and down on the waves lift the ancher up and it wont hold. So you would need 100? Yards of line. Where i live boats from 27/30 feet and bigger have a full chain anchor line. And a winch on the bow where the chain fits in. When anchoring youre best of putting 3/5 times the dept chain length out.

I would guess the tow off the beach alone will be $1000, then several hundred to tow it back to where ever they launched it. He should have dropped his anchor when he realized it wouldn't restart, and called the tow company then. Now instead of a few hundred he's going to pay substantially more. Very fortunate he ended up on a smooth sandy beach and not the rocks next to the inlet.

@@BUFFDgaming The weight of the anchor isn't super relevant. Small anchors are designed to dig and dig harder as they're pulled. Ship anchors are only heavy to pull out the chain, and the chain does most of the anchoring. Here, they needed their anchor to dig, and it didn't. No biggie, it happens, but it usually won't correct itself and needs to be reset manually or it'll just keep dragging.

@sailingsegundo4644 27 днів тому

Drop the hook before you're on the beach. If you're on the beach, you can not push a boat out by the stern. The bow is much lighter, and you will have much more of the weight of the boat in the water it will also keep the water going over the stern onto the boat. Also, when you're on the beach, it's not a tow it's a salvage. And it may not be insured. The boat stalled most likely from clogged fuel filters by stirring up the tank in the rough inlet waters . Drop the hook, carry extra filters, and you will not be on Wavy boats with a 1000.00 dollar towing bill, and I won't have to spend 15 minutes typing this.👍⛵️🌊
