The true hero of this effort was the dude in the orange construction vehicle who was an ARTIST at removing sand and then pushing the boat so gently. Terrific job!
And notice he only pushed when the waves came to lift the boat even though the men aboard were waving him forward. Very strategic and ultimately prevented any more damage to the keel and rudder!
It was good to see the boat sailing again. But the guy who was the real hero of the day was the guy driving the excavator. He used it like a knife and fork. Absolutely brilliant display of workmanship.
Indians ?? I see way too many fat white guys. What were they for Miriam ? Did you suggest they would be a good photo opportunity ? Not much of a racist are you ? it must be your boat. They were the ones that got the ship back into the water, and were probably paid nothing. at least by you.
Thanks a whole truckload, Ronald Wigman. By sharing with us this lil' artwork of a filmlet...! You know how to keep ppl in awe, how to explain things thru your technical skills. You'd shoulda ashame more than one of 'em called "Holewood gurus". Thanks again, maestro!
Kolibrie is alive and well... just had a total refit in Langkawi and is like brand new again..... Kolibrie is a Standfast 40 Custom built in Holland.... in September 2012 she left Bali after 12 years and sailed to Rebak Langkawi where she resides to date....
hi, good to see this, was just looking for it and found this. i sailed it with Ton... from Cairns to Darwin and after that to Bali, from where i returned to Australia to continue my trip around it. We had a beautiful trip.
You are lucky!......it was in poor country......and have help ..because here... in EUROPE ...you can sell your house and you have not enough money to pay this work.
So there is no rocks and no crash. A yacht was beached then lifted back toward the water and refloated. Why didn't you call it "Speeding boat smashes into island and explodes"?
The backhoe operator was awesome... though I would hate to have something like that against my transom. I was aground at high tide in the Fla Keys in about 1984 (Pearson 39 centerboard yawl) and after missing at least one high tide (the only time to try to get off), a large powerboat pulled me off by my spinnaker halyard.. Laid me over, got the keel off the bottom a bit and dragged me off more sideways than anything.. No damage.. For this to have helped with these guys would have required something larger than the zodiac or whatever it was, The boat might have been a Swan.. I'd say about 46' or so..
Quite a few heart in mouth moments in this film! Well done and thanks for sharing. What kind of condition was the Kolibri in after she was floated and moved??
Excelente maniobra de rescate, a resaltar... la ayuda de los lugareños, la efectividad de los maquinistas, los botes en el mar, perfecta la Planeación en general, también el estrés presente, y por supuesto la compensación luego de tene la embarcación nuevamente a la mar..felicitaciones a todos! Buen viento y mar en lo sucesivo..⚓️👊
Next time, get it as far in the water as you can with the machines and pull it over on its side with the spinnaker halyard.. and drag it to deeper water sideways.. Pulling the mast over will get the keel up and the buoyancy will carry it to deeper water.. I'd have anchors set way out and people pulling, or a car pulling keeping tension on the line and/or a big sport fish dragging it to deeper water sideways.. Every time a swell comes in it gets a bit of lift and inches its way out.. Of course, use the tides to best advantage.. Hey quarterbacking years later is easy! Might be a Baltic 46 or so.. anybody know what it is? PS That plow (CQR) daisy-chained with another big anchor (Bruce, CQR, etc.) should be way out in front of the boat with a lot of tension on it from a car, etc.. music is horrible..
+Jim Hamilton "Every time a swell comes in it gets a bit of lift " and the lift could be ever so slightly more effective if all "dead" weight had been removed from the hull which begs the question: Were five people needed on board before the hull was refloated? Only a crew of two seemed to have been needed. Additional crew members could have boarded via the transom ladder if needed. Once in deep water, a dingy could have delivered the other three crew members. Just saying.
Its obvious that you have read a book or seen a tv show but never done this in person. There is a reason that towing and salvage Captains have years of experience and are licensed by the Coast Guard. You seem to have missed that it is beached and not simply grounded. The "drag it" comment made me laugh.
It appears thy had a line to the top of the mast, I don't know why they didn't do it that way. That is how I hauled my boats for bottom jobs for 30 years including a 27 footer I hauled by myself.
They tried this and it did not work, by the time the sun came up the boat was too deep in the sand and only by digging it out could they move it at all....
Kolibrie completed a 2000 mile journey to Thailand recently... the hull and keel were rock solid after this incident... a testament to the Standfast design....
Best+most instructive video i've seen in a very long time, must see for any skipper/sail yacht owner: i'd love to see the damage and expense report. i imagine u had quite some hull damage, scratched gel coat, hope the rudder didn't take any bigger damages. shity area but lucky that there wasn't any rocks whatsoever otherwise...
What a well made video. From the music, to the visuals. It started out so mysterious, and you wondered what happened, and what may happen next. Then, the music picked up, and the action started. I like how your shown what is going on pretty much in a 360 degree fashion. Your never left wondering what is happening in all perimeters. The bucket operator is to be congratulated on a job 'Very Well Done' He def. knew what he was doing,
This is the best video I've ever watched. I know its been years but I'm still going to comment. What a great group of people (all of them) getting this done, amazing work!! this is 2021, I'm struggling with a terminal illness, I watch a shitload of videos that suck, this one makes me feel really good. I've always loved sailing, but also block & tackle stuff, and then the backhoe/crane stuff was amazing, whew..left me on the edge of me chair 😎 Cheers ya'll
Always such a sad sight to see a beeched ship, especially if it is as beautiful as this one. Great to see her go free again. May she have many safe long voyages.
Excellent work by the excavator tech... I still don't understand how the rudder held up to all that pressure. I thought they would pull the mast down from abeam take pressure off the Keel and Rudder as it was pulled then pushed forward. Great video.
April 2018: Kolibrie is abandoned in Rebak Marina Langkawi after a complete refit. The latest owner has disappeared and she is now rotting away at the dock with 4 years of unpaid mooring fees.
While sailing a Morgan 42 Ketch, up from Key West to Miami, around midnight, I checked a buoy that was not on the correct path by my view of the compass. I yelled down to the wife, "Hey, what is the location of that horn Buoy? Wham, we went hard aground,! in sand, at around 10 knots! Not fun, spilled my drink, went head over tea kettle. Tide was on its way out. So there we sat. I had a couple of Boat Hickhickers on from Key Largo. The girl had never sailed and was screaming at the top of her lungs, "WE ARE SINKING!!" I casually made another cocktail and said, "We are already on the bottom, ma'am." Tide came back over night and by sunrise we were in Bisquane Bay. Always nice to get a little water under the keel....
Lovely Standfast, I am glad you could refloat her with such minor damage. You were lucky to have local assistance, but then sailors are known to help sailors. I haven't been high and dry (yet), thus I have always been able to resort to kedging when aground. I wish someone had mentioned where this occurred...
Gotta agree with the others- absolutely amazing excavator skills, and also somebody definitely did their planning with this one, as scary as it seemed...
Goed gedaan...... met teamwork, inventiviteit, lokale mankracht en eenvoudige graaf en hijswerktuigen en niet te vergeten... zonder haast en brut geweld . Een happy end, vanuit een ogenschijnlijk hopeloze positie en een behoorlijk eind verwijderd van Scheveningen.
No matter what negative comments people write here i just wanted to tell you that i think you did everything right by the video to judge and also a hell of a good job rescuing it. Cheers from Sweden
It is a magic moment when you push your keel 4 feet into the beach, and you realise, quite amazingly, you have not wrecked your 3 million dollar yacht. Getting salvaged is the boring result of your weird navigation. There is a great marina or a great bay just around the corner!
You can clearly see by looking at the rock on the back that the tide isn't going to come up any higher than this. It was their only chance, and they did it.
That skipper is a lucky guy. First of all, she should have not been beached.Then, to get that much help. I'd have someone looking below to see if the keel is being ripped off, or springing leaks.
I was just waiting for it to roll back on it's side and sink as the keel fell off out in the sea, from pushing it through the sand with the backhoe...... LOL
Now that is another good reason for cruising with a long keel... (a long keel works as a skid so it slides up and over the sand/mud whle a fin keel digs in like an anchor----or spade!). BTW loved the editing; the nose´picking was good but best of all was the guy waving all the time to point away from the beach. He was the real hero of the day... Glad you got off safely.
I just mentioned that. It would of course be the refined fat guys that kept the boat grounded. I still think one is a Hollywood director, of small budget films
I loved this video, such intense hard work by all, especially the crane operator. Was so interesting to see how they were doing it. And I liked how you showed an airplane as "normal daily life." To contrast with the unique and challenging job that the men were doing. As for the forgettable music, we all have a mute button, and we all have our own "good" music at home, ready to play while we're watching. If we so have to have music. Stop complaining, take action, and be a little appreciative.
What a shame! The video is great, but the music is sickening!!!! I had to mute it, and still my stomach is tight bc of the meaningless unbearable beat!!!
+Jorge Lavorerio Made me think of those movie scenes with dark, blue lit night clubs where pills are being popped left, right and center. This music didn't evoke any kind of feeling to do with what happened on that day; it was simply inappropriate.
No, it's not about the plane, but the camera man is trying to make you see what is going on, and some of it I believe has a hidden meaning. One is, anyone seeing this can see it's not so far out of civilization, though, the surroundings make you think that way. The last plane shown, made me feel the life of the boat goes on. You think of the boat out at sea, just as the plane is where it's suppose to be high in altitude, the boat it now happy, out at sea. It represents a happy ending. )
As long as you don't pull or tow on the mast line when heeling a grounded sail boat there is vey little chance of damage. Masts and rigging is built to withstand substantial wind loads, so with the leverage advantage of the length of the mast very little weight is required to counteract the weight of the keel. Only apply enough force to keep the keel from contact on the bottom and your free
This was an awesome video..Here in the USA after storms, boats end up in this position. People have no idea how much work goes into moving these vessels ...NICE WORK :) P.S. whats up with the guy with the limp..
Some critique: The repetitive editing at the beginning seemed pointless. And you only need to show one shot of a plane flying overhead. The music was overwrought: I would have liked to have heard a voiceover narrative instead.
Editing of this video was a worse shipwreck than the boat itself. The whole thing could be sped up and cut to 5 minutes, maybe then the horrible background tune wouldn't be so obnoxious even.
about 3 years ago in donegal, we had a boat the same as this washed up on shore. i dug a big hole and let the boat slip into it gently. then dug a deep trenchout to sea with tide out. when the tide came in, it filled the trench and hole with warer and the boat sailed out, simpel. it worked coz i was the 1 that done it

Really nice team work. The skill of the Doosan Excavator was incredible. Especially when he timed the push to the wave coming in. Loved it.
The true hero of this effort was the dude in the orange construction vehicle who was an ARTIST at removing sand and then pushing the boat so gently. Terrific job!
And notice he only pushed when the waves came to lift the boat even though the men aboard were waving him forward. Very strategic and ultimately prevented any more damage to the keel and rudder!
The guy on the excavator has a great touch. Very fine control. The boat captain might take lessons.
Operator can be the difference between a good or bad day
you don't know why the boat was aground. They are lucky to find a good excavator whith a good guy..
@John Durham After 40+ years of excafation, have you left any part of the earth untouched? Or have you dug yourself a 40 year old crater?
It was good to see the boat sailing again.
But the guy who was the real hero of the day was the guy driving the excavator. He used it like a knife and fork.
Absolutely brilliant display of workmanship.
Not at all....to many Indians on deck doing NADA !!
Indians ?? I see way too many fat white guys. What were they for Miriam ? Did you suggest they would be a good photo opportunity ? Not much of a racist are you ? it must be your boat. They were the ones that got the ship back into the water, and were probably paid nothing. at least by you.
I didnt realize music could really make you sick !
Steve Lamperta Wear earplugs u stooge
Their only goal in life is to complain about You Tube music, it is beyond them that it's possible to shut off
He probably put this music to the video because it was the same music he playing on board and iced out too when he ran aground.
Who calls that s**t music
That's not music, its a crime.
damn that excavator/operator are worth their weight in gold. good job.
I was exactly thinking the same. He was THE man!

So there is no rocks and no crash.
A yacht was beached then lifted back toward the water and refloated.
Why didn't you call it "Speeding boat smashes into island and explodes"?
Teamwork at its best!
Desregarding I can't hear that music, the pictures speak for themselves. Good job! Thanks for video.
The military fly overs were really cool! Crowd loved it I'm sure!
the same people that crashed that boat selected the background sound-
haha looks like

yes, they were dancing to trance music and suddenly lost all sails and were parked high up on the beach.

Should have used a helicopter!
She's very lucky she went ashore on sand and missed those rocks.
I just would have removed all the rigging, had it leveled up, and lived in it as is.
The person on that excavator was brilliant at his/her job. Good job everyone involved!
Quite a few heart in mouth moments in this film! Well done and thanks for sharing.
What kind of condition was the Kolibri in after she was floated and moved??
It reads Kolibrie. Not Kolibri. Try to pronounce Scheveningen. Don't skip any E next time. Don't you car for dtail?
Well done I enjoyed the whole 26 min of that.

That's got to be the strongest rudder assembly on the sea! :-)

Wow. The coordination of the Crain and excavator was amazing. Very very very fortunate boat and crew.
This video would have benefited greatly from time lapse photography/editing.
Looks like the owner's yachting knowledge is on par as his taste in music. Probably out of it on e when he ran aground.
Great ad for the many uses of a Kubota in the hands of an expert! A happy ending for the skipper, who was no doubt fired.
Great team work, I like the happy ending!
Hope the guy with the excavator got a good payday.. without him putting his machine in the salt water, she still would be there...
Surprised he actually did it. I wouldn't put my excavator in salt water unless it's really worth it. $$$
That must have cost a pretty penny!
Gotta agree with the others- absolutely amazing excavator skills, and also somebody definitely did their planning with this one, as scary as it seemed...
Great job about the boat. The first song remenber me the "Tangerine dream" s music.

could easily live without the music

Nice organization of the effort. First time is always the hardest. Congrats on saving the ship.
Am I the only one that caught one guy picking his nose ???? It was at 18:40 he had his finger buried up to the third knuckle...
i saw it too....why they put that in I will never know
It is a way to check up availability of a brain (finger).

First thing to do with this kind of crash: switch off sound!
about 3 years ago in donegal, we had a boat the same as this washed up on shore. i dug a big hole and let the boat slip into it gently. then dug a deep trenchout to sea with tide out. when the tide came in, it filled the trench and hole with warer and the boat sailed out, simpel. it worked coz i was the 1 that done it
This is a wicked video, great job! It is so dramatic. I don't like dance music but it is perfect for this. Real time tide. Fantastic!
