A boat has been reduced to a scattering of debris after it broke free of its moorings in rough conditions in Wellington harbour last night.
The boat was blown into rocks in front of Wellington Airport – in Evans Bay – just after 8pm.
Harbourmaster Grant Nalder said gusts in the harbour reached up to 115km an hour.
He said no one was aboard the vessel and he was in discussions with the owner over the clean up of the wreckage.
