Got beached... bummer. They should of waited for the tide to lift it off the rocks before they ground up the hull by pullng it. I can see pulling out to sea if it was on a sand bar or sand. But on rocks? Please!

As a former professional marine rescue captain/ocean tug operator when I was the ketch was on the rocks I would have taken the main sheet from the mast top and secured it to the shore. It that was low tide the boat's lost anyway. At least salvage what you could. Obviously an insured boat.

so is this ship for sale?

it looked like the bottom got ripped up when it was dragged off the rocks

the sail covers are on... surely anytime you're moving your boat, at anchor or on a mooring you should leave covers off in case you need your sails in a hurry. Feel sorry for the owner.

Qué horror flaco.
Cómo lo siento.

it looked like a comfortable cruiser, what a shame, always a sad moment, especially the pollution, but no one will give a damn about that..!

The Coast Guard is not the one who ran it aground are they, lol

They both have two, a schooner can have up to six. On a two masted schooner the aft mast is taller than the forward mast.

my bad, one has one mast the other has 2. thanks for helping me... either way, high tide or not, pulling the craft off the rocks was a bad idea.

It's not schooner, it's a ketch. Maybe it was high tide.
The owner-captain of the boat (my dad) though had everything under control, just had to wait for the high tide. But marine authorities of Valparaiso (Chile) forced him to leave the boat (?¿?¿) and go to the offices to inform what was going on ?¿.

Thanks for your comments... and trying to reply them all should say that no company insures wood-boats in Chile.
