Cinderella update:: #sunrise on Hilton Head Island, got in last night to see the damage from hurricane Matthew … the good news is is that I was woke up by my mini blinds tapping against the wall, which means she was floating enough to rock the boat when another boat went by. Bad news is at high…

hoping for the best for you
Go get a trash pump and pump that water out fast in 20 minutes it will b gone they sell them at Lowes Home Depot and Minards’s
Hope you are able to get her out of there soon.
Hope everything works out for you – keep us posted.
My guess is that when the boat went to ground, it knocked loose boards holding the struts, shaft boxs and rudders letting water in. I think it will be salvaged by floating it off at high tide with a lift standing nearby ready to take it out. Another boat or 2 to pull it off and help it to the take out point. It is a simple project to get it to the lift if you plan it correctly. I wish you well and I hope you woke onboard with a smile on your face. I always do. 🙂
I’d have a portable 2″ electric pump handy! Generator ok?
Sorry for your troubles, persevere… it will all work out. You have a gorgeous yacht and worth the efforts to have her on her lines again!
Keep us posted. Good Luck
If it was mine I would be encouraged that it rocked at high tide with 18″ of water in it. That means if you can pump hard enough to get ahead of that 18″ , then you can probably put at least another 12″ of space under the keel allowing you to float it off without more damage. You will need at least 2 pumps. One fore and one aft. Maybe one in the middle. If you pump only at one point, the limber holes in the ribs will not pass enough water to allow you to get ahead of the leaks..
