A sailboat runs aground on the beach of Los Rubios in Rincón de la Victoria without causing any injuries.

The Civil Guard of Rincón de la Victoria received a notification this Wednesday at about 4:00 PM that a sailboat had run aground on Los Rubios beach. According to what this newspaper has learned here, the passengers of the vessel are in good condition and have since stayed near the boat, with no rescue being necessary.

At the moment, the exact causes that led to the sailboat ending up stranded on the shore are unknown. However, the weather conditions during the afternoon have been calm, with light wind on the coast, which suggests a possible recklessness as the origin of the incident.

The scene has reminded many locals of a similar episode that occurred six years ago in Benajarafe, also on the Axarquía coast. On that occasion, a vessel ended up stranded after being dragged by a strong maritime storm and its crew did have to be rescued.

Interestingly, that sailboat remained several days on the sand while the paperwork with the boat's insurance was sorted out for its removal. A situation that could now be repeated on the coast of Rincón de la Victoria.

It seems likely that over the next few days many locals and visitors of Rincón de la Victoria will come to Los Rubios beach to witness the striking image of the sailboat stranded near the shore.
