RedactedNarrative: Vessel 1 was travelling eastbound approximately 300 feet off shore from the beach area just east of the breakwall ramp at the Sheffield Lake public ramp when the forward starboard side of the hull failed.  The starboard side section of the hull delaminated creating a hole approximately 2 feet in diameter.  Vessel 1 flooded, immediately sank, then partially resurfaced in a capiszed position.  The three persons aboard Vessel 1 at the time of the incident were able to don life jackets and swim to shore following the incident.  No injuries were reported.
