Wind speed supposed to be 12 - 15. The waves were breaking and leaving white water in harbour.

Boat rolling badly on reach, turned away from wind to attempt wheelbarrow to head back to the slip.

Crew unable to drop centreboard, eventually gybed to avoid rocks w Poole YC, capsized onto beach. Couldnt launch into wind without centreboard. towed boat by hand for 1/2 mile to better position to launch. Wind flogged bottom batton out of main, ground hull on groyne.

Ended up exhausted.
