| Cabo Flats Master
Guys,
Here is the new Cabo Flats Master. At least, it is supposedly a Cabo. Maybe someone knows the story here. This apparently happened last August.

Looks as though mud and weeds are a decent medium for propellors to provide thrust in. Too bad they coudn't overcome the friction of the grass against the hull.
Still, I think there is an easier way to transport your yacht overland.

It has been said that during docking manuevres the control lost (it is not clear yet whether it was due to mechanical/electronic poblem or bad handling) and a serious scissure occured.

I wonder if the hull is ruptured.
I would assume they'd get some slings around it and lift her up and off whatever she's hung up on.
