RedactedNarrative: The operator and passengers were onboard when the vessel hit a large wave and started sinking. The operator and his crew identified the problem as a loose plank on the front part of the starboard hull below the waterline. The operator activated his EPIRB device and put out a mayday call on his VHF radio. Assistance responded and helped pull the three parties off of boat.  Then the boat sank.
