    Two males, one disabled, taking the boat from Gold Coast to Ballina. Conditions calm, rock fishermen reported seeing it close inshore. Inexperience appears to be a possible factor. No insurance.

    Two escape safely after yacht hits rocks off Skennars Head https://ballinanewsdaily.com.au/2026/06/lucky-escape-for-two-after-yacht-hits-rocks-off-skennars-head/

    Sad and costly ending for owner of stranded yacht https://ballinanewsdaily.com.au/2026/06/sad-and-costly-ending-for-owner-as-stranded-yacht-dragged-from-flat-rock/
