Winds of up to 63km/h have blown a boat off its moorings and into the rocks beside Dive Crescent.
The 49-year-old boat was believed to be in good nick but needed to be moved from the rocks behind Trinity Wharf Hotel as soon as possible to prevent further damage.
Rescuers from Western Work Boats were working on a plan to salvage the boat at high tide this afternoon.
