KG1985">Acoa</a> ran aground after Storm Harry swept across the island, bringing winds of up to 80 kilometres per hour and heavy seas. The yacht is currently positioned in the surf zone, just metres from a rocky outcrop, where it has been exposed to strong winds and breaking waves since Wednesday.Local reports indicate that the first salvage attempt on Thursday was abandoned due to challenging sea conditions. With the yacht remaining in shallow water, authorities and salvage specialists are continuing to monitor the situation closely, warning that prolonged exposure to the surf increases the risk of structural damage.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/383704/image/large-3a549a5797b22cbb0c72055c1df76d5a.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/383704">According to experts involved in the operation, the yacht’s displacement of approximately 90 tonnes and a draft exceeding three metres are significantly complicating recovery efforts. High waves and strong surf have so far prevented the safe deployment of tugboats, with any further salvage attempt dependent on an improvement in weather conditions.The circumstances leading to the grounding remain unclear, with questions raised as to why the charter yacht was operating so close to shore amid deteriorating weather, although no official statement has yet been issued.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/383706/image/large-36bc5783f3b19d62d27ebd23f358b956.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/383706">Launched in 1985 from Germany, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/8917" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Acoa28.0m (91'10&quot;)Dubbel & Jesse Yachtbau GmbH & Co.
