On Saturday night after returning from the single handed farallon race, Elise was on her way back to the harbor, tacking to turn past the breakwater (or wave attenuator) when a jib sheet got stuck somehow and prevented a full tack. There wasn't enough sea room to attempt another tack, ie gain enough boat speed to make another tack possible. It was also low tide and Elise drifted onto the rocks.
Damage to the keel
Back of the keel has glass damage
Elise needed a tow out (Rudder seems fine, just keel damage) - fortunately she was close to home and was just hoisted out of the water directly.
Hairline crack in the gelcoat
Gelcoat and glass chips
Bottom of the keel rubbed against the rocks
Glass damage to the back of the keel
Point of impact I am guessing
Scratches
Not so cool

Now working on a plan to get this all fixed up and ready to go before the start of the SHTP
