        Does any one know if the Hastings Shannon 13-28 sustained any
        damage when it was rolled on its side in the program last night.

The radar was still spinning, all the aerials were still upright and the lifebuoys were still on the racks as she sailed on.  They are probably the most vulnerable items.
An incredible boat, Hastings Twitter has the story....   https://twitter.com/Hastingsrnli?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor

What also was interesting was how the Shannon’s water jets did not like working in the surf and they lost speed down to 4 knots very quickly.


I would assume this could restrict its operation in this type of sea conditions ?

I doubt there is any other boat ever designed that would have coped with the extreme conditions any better, and could have made it back to the beach.
