RedactedNarrative: Operator #1 stated to the effect: We were heading south approximately 300 yards from the shoreline
  under engine and sail power. Our steering cable snapped so we lowered the sail. The boat drifted into
  the waves and capsized. We stayed on the boat until fire rescue helped us off.
  
  Investigation revealed: Vessel #1 was traveling south bound in the Atlantic Ocean approximately 300
  yards from the shoreline in Berkeley Township, Ocean County. The vessel lost steering capabilities and
  subsequently drifted into the surf break, where it capsized on its port side. The occupants remained on
  the capsized vessel until Fire Rescue personnel removed them safely to shore. No injuries were reported
  on scene.
  
  It should be noted that the operator purchased the vessel from the registered owner on 9/22/21. A bill of
  sale was lost or destroyed as a result of this vessel accident. I contacted the previous owner who
  confirmed the sale.
  
  The vessel remnants were removed and discarded by Boat US on 10/5/21.
