RedactedNarrative: V1 (FL1684JY), 27FT SAIL, operated by OP1 left Halifax at daylight was northbound under sail approximately 4 miles east of St. Augustine . V1 lost power.
  Conditions were calm the operator fell asleep on the boat.
  The vessel was thrown in the surf, OP1 was also thrown forward into the cabin and broke his ankle. OP1 woke up and he was in the surf and had run aground. The motor to the boat would not start and hadn’t been started in days according to OP1.  OP1 (wearing life jacket ) called mayday on VHF 16 between 0200 and 0400. SJSO and SJFR arrived on scene to assist. OP1 jumped out of the vessel to get to rescue and further injured his ankle.
   OP1 was transported to Flagler Hospital with a broken ankle.
  On September 26, 2021 at approximately 10AM FL FWC, responded to the area of Dondonville Rd and Matanzas Ave beach ramps in St. Augustine Beach, St Johns County, reference to an aground sailboat.
  On arrival, I was advised the owner, OP1, had been transported by Fire Rescue approximately four hours before and was enroute back to the scene. When I met with OP1, he explained he was coming from South Daytona beach (Ocean Side) going north. He advised between 0200 and 0400 he lost power to his vessel and tried to use his external gas engine to maintain his voyage, but it would not start. OP1 fell asleep while drifting and that’s when the vessel came aground and the sudden stop caused OP1 to fall from his bunk and break his foot.  OP1 called US Coast guard for medical assistance on the VHF radio. St. Johns Sheriff’s Office and Fire Rescue was able to locate him. Fire Rescue transported him to the Flagler Hospital. Contact was made with OP1 at Flagler Hospital by St Johns Sheriff’s Office and he was transported back to the scene once cleared by medical staff. 
  OP1 advised he had no way to pay for a tow of the vessel and the vessel was now damaged to the point it would not be seaworthy. OP1 advised he would be willing to sign the vessel over to St. Johns County for destruction as he would have to leave it on the beach. SJSO lead the destruction and removal process of vessel. 
  I explained to OP1 that he committed several US Coast Guard violations. I wrote OP1 one Citation for VIOLATION OF NAVIGATION RULES: NAV RULE 5 IMPROPER LOOKOUT: requires that all vessels at all times maintain a proper lookout by sight and hearing so that the operator can fully appraise the situation and the risk of collision.
   I also wrote a warning for Rule 7 - Risk of Collision(a) Every vessel shall use all available means appropriate to the prevailing circumstances and conditions to determine if risk of collision exists.
  End of Report. ; OP1, OP1:Subject hit foot/leg on compartment of the vessel. Subject was transported to the hospital and treated for an broken ankle.
