Quoting the Swedish Sea Rescue Society’s Grötvik Station about yestersday’s mission when their RescueRunner did a great job:
”A sailing yacht had run firmly aground on the sandy seabed just outside the entrance to Halmstad, Sweden. To get her off the ground, we called in our RescueRunner, Allan Mattsson. By securing a line to the halyard and using the RescueRunner to heel the yacht over, we were able to reduce the keel's draft and free it from the bottom. Our powerful large rescue vessel, Hans Laurin, then towed her until she came clear of the grounding.
A bit of seamanship and teamwork—and a very effective method. 🌞”
