120-year-old yacht 'Owl': A British team rescues the iconic sailing vessel from Palmanova

Answer

Why was the old yacht Owl stuck on the beach in Palmanova?

The yacht Owl was blown loose from her moorings earlier this year during a severe storm and later ended up stranded on the shore at Palmanova. Because the hull is old and the water is shallow there, recovery turned into a careful salvage job rather than a simple tow.
