At Williamstown Sailing Club, at least nine boats were torn from their moorings, while two sank overnight because of strong winds and heavy seas. Boats have also broken from their moorings at Hobson's Bay, damaging other boats.
Senior Constable Leigh Wadeson from Victoria Police said a yacht and a motor boat had sunk and nine yachts had come away from their swing moorings at Williamstown.
It is believed that only the mast of the sunken yacht is visible.
'It is up to the owners to salvage them, but members of the Water Police are there at the moment tying them down until the owners get there,' Constable Wadeson said."
