Such a shame for the fate of this wonderful vessel with such nice lines, it is good the tragedy was with out injury and the crew was safe. There are so many potential pit falls in crewing a sail driven vessel, but such an adventure in seamanship that equals non other.
There is a challenge that equals very few others in crewing a sail driven vessel and the knowledge of all things in seamanship that are commensurate with the experience. Rather for pleasure, work or schooling for a seaman license is most all similar. The sea is our mother, but she can become ruthless with her temperament, with this, it is to this end to know the limits of the respective sailing vessel with understanding the sea, the vessel and operations of requirements in sailing.
Even though the skipper is well learnt of his/her trade, the vessel and storm traits. In heavy weather sailing, there are surprises that will unfold as indicated in this resulted wreck that is beyond the limits of the vessel and crew.
There will be an maritime investigation in the resulted wreck, but at least the vessel is aground and easily assessed for damage and sail set at time of running aground onto the rocks.
