But really, the boat doesn't seem that stuck. The canal drops almost instantly to massive depth at the edge. Only that bulbous nose is really in the sand. And with that jacknifed angle, hauling on the stern laterally to starboard will just wrench the nose free.

Why don't they consult the skippers of 42-foot sailboats on these matters? We've done all this before.

My understanding is that it is about the strain on the hull given its size and weight; too hasty an attempt could crack the thing in the middle and then the canal would be blocked for weeks-to-months rather than days-to-weeks.
