V1 WAS UNDERWAY, MAKING WAY WHILE PADDLING WHEN A WAVE STRUCK THE BOW AND TURNED THE VESSEL. A SECOND WAVE WASHED OVER THE BOW FILLING AND SWAMPING V1. V1 WAS CONSTRUCTED WITHOUT ANY FLOATATION CAUSING V1 TO SINK IMMEDIATELY. AS A RESULT, BOTH OCCUPANTS WENT INTO THE WATER, AND ONE OCCUPANT PERISHED AND THE OTHER WAS INJURED.
