I first thought twin keel myself that's why I zoomed in. Don't see many twin keel boats this side of the pond.

You don't. But here is one. It was in Greenport a year or so ago. They are reported to be slow. But they take the ground well - as it's said. I understand that in places in the British Isles you can walk to your boat at low tide. In a lot of tidal estuaries here in the east you would perish from getting stuck in the mud.

The wing keeled boat broke free from its slip and was washed downwind until the mast got tangled in the pine tree. I can't see any damage to the boat. Going to need a crane and a chainsaw to splash this one.
The papers taped to two of the boats were put there by a salvage company. Not sure if they have contracted with the owners or just advertising. Another boat that you may be able to see on a far dock, had been prepped well for the storm, but sometimes it's just not your day. Several of it's lines were broken by a nearby boat that banged into it's slip allowing it to slip downwind with it's stern sugar scoop over the dock where it stayed as the water receded. They were unable to push it off the dock and eventually the water flooded the anchor well and the boat. It's a First 35.
There are more war stories, but I'll stop there.
