That’s what I call a grounding
I was shown the following photo in September’s issue of Practical Boat Owner. Just goes to show that cardinal buoys are there for a reason and you shouldn’t pass the wrong side of them! What is incredible is that due to the shape of the bottom of the keel, they didn’t tip over and were able to return and sail off after a full French lunch ashore - you couldn’t get more lucky if you tried.

That is awesome.
I think this is indicative of the wider problem though, notably that you’re reading Practical Boat Owner. Have you considered switched to Adventurous Boat Owner or Fun Boat Owner
