RedactedNarrative: Vessel 1 and Vessel 2 were travelling parallel to each other and making a gradual turn to the left (port) to avoid a fishing net when Vessel 2 made a sharp turn to the left (port), in front of Vessel 1, then stopped.  Vessel 1 let off the throttle and attempted unsuccessfully to turn, instead striking Vessel 2 and riding up over it.  Following the collision, the Operator of Vessel 1 then exited the vessel and held the Operator of Vessel 2 up in the water, as he was now face-down.
