The owner was able to swim under the boat to retrieve the onboard emergency radio beacon, and at 10:32 a.m. the Coast Guard received an alert from a location about six miles off Huntington Beach, according to the report. At 11:20, Poynter was pulled out of the 56-degree water and lifesaving measures were started. He was taken to Los Alamitos Medical Center and died that day, according to the report.Investigators determined that the accident was caused by an approximately 400-foot section of broken coiled line that had been tied to an adjacent line. “The buoyancy of the line created an unseen hazard that would have been very difficult to avoid,” the report stated.
