The operator of vessel 1 was traveling from a yacht club. He brought the vessel up to about 15 knots. He saw vessel 2 and by the time he saw how small they were, it was too late to bring his vessel back to idle. As he passed by vessel 2, he looked back to see them turn into the wake. Vessel 2 took on a wave over the bow, then began to turn towards shore. Almost instantaneously, vessel 2 sank and everybody was in the water.
 
Operator 1 was cited for operating a vessel in a manner to interfere with other traffic.
Operator 2 was cited for no boating certificate.
