RedactedNarrative: While patrolling in the Pentwater Channel near the end of the pier heads a sailboat was seen drifting.  The sailboat was a small Sunfish and appeared to be in distress due to the wave conditions.  The conditions were six to seven foot waves.  Deputy spoke to one of the occupants who stated their rudder was broken.  At that time a large wave pushed vessel #1 and its three occupants into the south pier.  The occupant on the bow was thrown into the water with the other two clinging to the boat while in the water.  All three occupants were rescued with a life ring without injury.  Vessel #1 was destroyed in the rocks inside the Pentwater Channel.
