Boat Sinks During Wednesday Night Shields Racing Series

It’s every boat owners worst nightmare! Last Wednesday night the #15 boat of the navy fleet sank in Newport Harbor during the weekly Wednesday night Shields Racing Series

Clarke Boat Yard and Marine Works captured the action and helped assist in rescuing the fiver person crew from 51º water temps. Apparently the boat sank after an accidental gybe caused the boat to broach and take on water.
