Two sailing vessels were headed into Rockhold Creek off Herring Bay under sail.  One sailboat cut close in front of the other.  The same boat then began to cut a second time across the bow of the first boat to avoid the shallows.  He cut too close, then attempted to cut behind the first boat and hit the first boat's port quarter causing functional damage to the stern area.  The Second vessel was issued a citation for failure to avoid a collision.  It is not known if alcohol was involved due the time required to find the operator of the striking vesse.
