Looks like a nice boat, brutal to see the damage.

Wow, that boat be trashed! And yet another great job by the coasties... well done, guys.

Hope some details emerge about what happened and what sort of vessel it was.

Many boats suffer grievous damage when rolled. The kind of modern construction--the liner built, glued together ones, imo, are more vulnerable to rogue waves than older construction, properly fiberglassed ones.

Glad the guys survived. It is peculiarly scary when you water coming in through your dorades.
