I'm sure a good samaritan could get some spare line and attach out to the anchor chain and run it out into a baltic moor and keep it off the wall. Would take 10mins.

A tricky one this, there is an unwritten rule of "Don't touch another mans ropes" on one hand you might be able to save the boat but what would happen if a gust of wind came and blew it up onto the harbour causing it more damage would you be liable, on a small boat it might be worth the risk but something this size could cost you a few quid if you were held responsible.

I myself would try and save it somehow maybe by weighing down the fenders but thats because I have a love for all boats but not all boat owners

Or the local marina could take it in tow and shelter in their facility until the owner returns? Might even get a new customer out of it. Although, I'll never understand how someone can pay a hefty pricetag on something like that and not spend a few quid looking after it properly?!

Because people have money and think a boat would be a great bit of fun but money cant buy you knowledge of boats or water and they think once its tied up its safe

This one looks quite clean so it could be down to something like a family emergency, illness or maybe the owners house was been flooded at the time.
