RedactedNarrative: On the above date and time S/V ROUNDABOUT was traveling south, under sail, in the Delaware River towards the Delaware Bay.  After experiencing rough seas the operator turned north to seek shelter behind Reedy Island, steering the vessel northwest towards Bay View Beach. The operator failed to see the jetty markers displayed on top of the jetty as well as the jetty marked on the chart plotter.  
  
  The vessel struck the jetty at approximately 7 knots causing loss of propulsion and steering.  The vessel was temporarily stuck on top of the jetty wall but floated off with wind and incoming tide. Operator , stated that he was looking at his chart plotter but did not recognize the jetty as shown.  He advised he was set the course due to the depth of water shown on the chart.  He was issued a citation for Inattentive Operation of a Vessel.
