A yacht on the pole moorings broke loose in a southerly storm, swung onto another vessel and holed it. Harbour masters team responded and requested CGM support to get the yacht to a lift out point. Harbours team were pumping the yacht out but it sank before the CRV could get to the scene. There was no-one on the the damaged vessel
