Two Boats End Aground in Iron Cove, Sydney

Two cruisers of ten meters in length ended aground at Iron Cove, in Drummoyne, to the West of Sydney on the early hours of Friday seventeen January. Strong winds which were reported to reaching wind speeds up Beaufort Force Eight caused the grounding as the boats broke their swing mooring.  Low tide also made the situation a bit more difficult.  A salvage by Aus Coastal Diving and Marine was organized the following day, with no injuries reported from the accident, although the boat will need some repairs.

The boats in this accident are a Greenline 33 Yacht as produced from 2008 to 2022 on the rocks to the right of the picture, and a Bayliner 3688 Motor Yacht as produced from 1992 to 1994.
