webfact Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Video: Brit's yacht washes up on Ao Nang beach - the anchor broke loose Picture: 77kaoded Thai media 77kaoded reported that tourist police, rescue and salvage services were informed after a yacht washed up on Nopparat Thara beach in the Ao Nang area of Krabi. The yacht's owner is a British man who arrived in the area from Phuket on Friday. Heavy seas caused the ship to come loose from its anchor and wash ashore. Picture: 77kaoded Salvage operations - viewed by many bystanders - had to be delayed due to high seas but eventually the vessel was righted and found to have a hole near the rear. It is now undergoing repairs. The media gave no name for the owner though they published a picture of a foreigner trying to avoid the camera.

If sailing alone set alarm to wake up and check every hour, at least. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reigntax Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) Even Prawit probably doesnt have an anchor watch. In any case im sure his 'i've hit the bottom alarm' went off. A duel purpose alarm, one mode for the nauticalists and the other for late night bar hoppers. Edited October 9, 2020 by Reigntax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a 26 Columbia in Florida years ago and that what i did. Two anchors will also secure the boat and prevent it from shifting from side to side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAF666 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 One should always avoid anchoring on a lee shore in heavy weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
