RedactedNarrative: The vessel left the marina transit dock. After entering the channel, steerage became difficult due to outgoing tide, river current and rudder design. Approximately 75 yards after entering the channel steerage was lost. The vessel traveled another 25 yards spinning 180 degrees and grounding on the west side of the channel entrance. The rudder and rudder stock were damaged and that was caused by the towing company when they freed the grounded vessel.
