On 5/24/2012 at approximately 11:25 p.m. the 27' sailboat with a 6 h.p. engine hit unknown debris on the port side below water line.  The operator/owner called 911 and the local fire department responded and took the boat in tow after starting a pump to de-water the vessel.  While towing the vessel still was taking on water faster than it could be pumped out.  The fire department took took the passenger and operator on board then to shore while a U.S.C.G. vessel remained with the boat.   
 
The boat sank about 3 hours later and was estimated to be valued at 8,000.00.  It was a complete loss and there were no injuries.
