Tropical storm-force winds hit South Florida and the Treasure Island on Thursday, sixteen November. The winds started gusting at over fifty knots at around 04:00 hours of the morning with the storm calming down jest before 18:00 local time. The storm caused a lot of damage in the area, toppled a lot of trees, destroyed tents, broke loose a few boats, and three hundred power cuts happening during the day. In Jensen beach a catamaran ended slamming in a dock, while a ketch finished beached and aground and partly toppled into a seawall after it broke loose. The picture above shows also a sport-boat-cruiser of about eleven meters in length which partly sank, and was hanging with the dock near Gateway Boulevard in Boynton beach.
The sport-power-boat-cruiser in the above sinking is a Formula 419 SR-1, as designed by John Adams and produced from 1991 up to 1996. The 419 SR-1 was Formula flagship when introduced in 1991, and with triple engines reached speeds up to seventy knots. The 419 was evolved and replaced by the Formula 419 FasTech, which was the boat with a three-step hull.
