A yacht has run aground in Havelet Bay after breaking free from its mooring, according to Guernsey Coastguard.
Guernsey Coastguard warned about the yacht being adrift on Friday evening, but noted that conditions were “not safe enough to try and salvage the vessel”.
In a statement issued this morning, the Coastguard said the vessel came to rest near the Slaughterhouse slipway.
There was no one on board at the time and there is no risk to life.
As of 8am this morning, no pollution had been observed, although the yacht had been damaged. The owner of the vessel has been identified.
Guernsey Ports and Guernsey Coastguard are now liaising with the owner, the Receiver of Wreck and other States of Guernsey departments about the future of the vessel.
Members of the public have been reminded not to approach the yacht or remove any items from it, as doing so would be an offence under the Wreck and Salvage (Vessels and Aircraft) (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law, 1986.
