  On september 17th 2015, at around 1:30pm i took my sailboat out for an afternoon sail with 2 other adults. We started sailing in the intracoastal waterway, and turned to sail the inlet at saint augustine florida. The conditions were light winds of 12-15mph out of the northeast, partly cloudy skies, and good visibility. We set a tack with a heading out of the inlet, with a plan to sail to the sea buoy and come about and tack back. We were tacking along the southern edge of the channel when we noticed a fishing boat on our course about 50-100 yards off of shore. Being that we were under sail, we had the right of way, and decided to tack early to avoid said fishing vessel. 
  
  When we came about, the wind fell out of our sails, and we lost our current heading and began to drift towards the fishing boat. We tried to communicate our struggle to the fishing boat to get him to move, but found he was anchored in the channel.  The fishing boat was unable to act quickly, so we changed our course to try and jibe into the wind. The headsail during the jibe got caught in the sailboat rigging and the swift outgoing tide, and waves carried us onto the rock jetty. 
  
  The boat ran aground, and with the motor and sail in full force, the power was not enough to battle the waves and current. The waves repeatedly smashed the boat up against the rocks, causing detrimental damage. I hailed towboat us for assistance and the towboat came and recovered the vessel from the jetties. Upon being removed from the rocks, the rudder strut on the sailboat broke and the boat began taking on water. The boat flooded to 80% capacity and at that point we were at vilano point beach and beached the vessel with the assistance of towboat us. Towboat us then recovered the sunken vessel, pumped the water out and transported the vessel to camachee island yacht yard where it was lifted out of the water.
