This is the proper way to retrieve boats to prevent further damage! As any boater knows, it can be expensive to own a boat, not just in Bermuda but anywhere!!!

What? Are you going to pull it underwater to the beach and cause the boat more damage than it already has? That was the proper way to do this salvage….

Quite simples really. If it was just pulled out (off the rocks) then it would have sunk to the bottom… how you gonna drag it along the bottom to a dump? You are looking at about 15000lbs dry weight. (Plus there is a pollution hazard)

You have to have a barge and crane come in to “kinda” lift a vessel out? Is that what happened for all the stranded/sunk boats we saw just after Gonzalo? seems a bit extreme, no?

A similar aged, builder & style can be bought & brought in for far less than its repair costs.

A shame really. It was a nice boat. Yes, I am familiar with it.
