BOATS were ripped from their moorings and a few are thought to have sunk as gales battered the Island yesterday.
The north coast was worst affected, with the St Catherine’s Lifeboat being scrambled after a fishing boat was set adrift near the Breakwater.
A Harbours spokesman urged boat-owners to check their moorings as soon as possible to make sure their boats were still there and in good order.
Elsewhere, trees were uprooted, a traffic light was blown over on the Avenue and a marquee was split at the Amaizing Maze, in St John.
