The owner / operator of a 24 foot sailboat was caught sailing out in 3 to 5 ft., rough seas, on the Atlantic Ocean and tried to secure the vessel.
The anchor and grounding tackle for the vessel failed, allowing the waves and wind to push the sailboat onto the beach sand at Singer Island. The owner / operator was uninjured but was checked by emergency medical services anyway, no treatment provided or requested. 
The sailboat was destroyed on the beach by the waves and surf, then washed out to sea by the tidal action of the ocean.
