Clearly it wasn't "BEACHED!"
It was DRIVEN ASHORE by the wind and waves.....

No, it did not suffer engine failure. The boat was tied up to a mooring in the bay and it's lines cut and it drifted on to the rocks near Maxima beach club. Simple as that. We were windsurfing/kitesurfing in the bay when it happened.

Was there no anchor on board? A 150 Metre nylon rope of 2 inch circumference and a 4 metres chain attached to a CQR anchor would have kept the boat from going aground.

It is normal under these condition to drop an anchor to stay out of trouble. So my question is , "Did the boat have an anchor and a short chain and a long line it would have dropped and stayed away from the beach till assistance came along through phoning 112!
