Sailing boat ran aground

The Hjálparsveit skáta í Kópavogi team left on their Rafnar 1100 SAR yesterday after receiving a distress call. A cutter had stranded just outside Reykjavik. One was onboard and had to be rescued and immediately attempts were made to free the boat. The tide was going out, so the cutter did not budge, the team waited for high tide and sure enough, they got the cutter off the reef and towed it back to Kopavogur Harbor. Well done!
