RedactedNarrative: Vessel # 3 was anchored on Barnegat Bay northwest of Seaside Park Yacht Club with vessel # 4 secured to its port side and vessel #2 tied to its starboard side.  Vessel #1 was unoccupied and anchored alone a short distance away in a northwest direction.  All vessel owners and passengers were on the rafted vessels.
  At approximately1915 hours a severe thunderstorm with strong winds moved into the area. The winds caused vessel # 1 to drag its anchor and rift back into the rafted vessels.  Vessel #1 struck the bow portions of vessels # 3 and #4 on its port side.  The owner of vessel #1 boarded his boat from vessel #3 and attempted to motor away to minimize further damage.  However, while doing so, vessel #1's propeller became entangled in vessel # 3's anchor line rendering  it disabled. The port side of vessel #1 continued to strike vessels # 3 and #4 .   the owners of all vessels involved attempted to fend off but the efforts were futile in the storm.  During this time, subject boarded vessel #2 released lines from vessel #3 and drifted astern toward the yacht club. Vessel #2 was in disarray from the ongoing storm yet subject deployed the anchor. The violent action of vessels numbers 1,3 and 4 strained he anchor line of vessel #3 causing it to part allowing vessels #3 and #4 to drift free of vessel #1 which  remained in place.  Both vessel engines were started and put into gear.  Vessel#3's propeller fouled vessel #2's anchor line .  vessel #3 was able to set another anchor and secure it's position.  Vessel #4 fouled it's propeller in vessel #2's jib sheet.  Vessel #4 then released ins from vessel # 3 , cut the tangled jib free and set anchor.
