Sounds like it, but it sounds like people are still planning to raise it? Man, I sure hope that happens!

It sounds like it's an unusually difficult job, since the OP seems to be fairly skilled/experienced at raising sunken sailboats, yet wasn't able to make it work.

Too bad I live so far away, as I'd really like to give it a try myself. My "plan" would involve wrapping ropes around the stern and bow of the boat, and then tying lots of cheap department store inflatable toys to the outside of the hull at low tide. I would also add several large anchors out in deep water, to keep the boat from drifting back into shore. This should float just off the bottom.
