Kahu wreck above the water
The Cowes Harbour Master, Capt. Stuart McIntosh, has been working closely with response teams and divers in the night of Nov 12 and the following morning to lift the "Kahu" from the seabed. After a large crane had lifted the wreck above the water within the oil boom which had been surrounding it, the extent of the damage was visible. The whole superstructure had gone, and also the fiberglass hull had suffered major damage. On Nov 13 the divers undertook a clearance of the seabed and a decontamination programme by Adler and Allan of the salvage containment area and barge. The flat top barge, with the "Kahu" on board, was towed to Camber Docks in Portsmouth, subject to agreement by Queen’s Harbour Master Portsmouth and Portsmouth International Port Harbour Master.

Kahu raised in Cowes
The wreck of the "Kahu" that sank in East Cowes Marina has been lifted out of the water on Nov 12. A floating crane was brought to the site early in the morning with air lift bags utilised to bring it up to just below the water surface. Once this has been achieved the vessel will be placed on a bunded flat top barge for transportation to a disposal site. The Cowes Harbour Commission (CHC) was co-ordinating the recovery and the ensuing environmental clean-up operation. The Hampshire Fire & Rescue Service led the emergency response. The operation is now focussed on the salvage and disposal of the yacht. As part of the salvage operation CHC will be prioritising a detailed anti-pollution plan, to ensure pollution does not occur, or is minimal, during the salvage and subsequent transportation stages. Oil booms have been deployed which can cope with the flood and ebb tides, and a 360 degree boom has been placed around the sunken vessel. It was estimated that approximately one third of the yacht's diesel fuel has been recovered so far and removed ashore into a road waste oil tanker with the remainder still in the fuel tanks of the yacht. Meanwhile, the CHC was carrying out inspections on the River Medina and around Cowes Harbour to check for instances of pollution.
