Vessel 1 was approaching Vessel 2 on a course that would result in Vessel 2 passing to the port side of Vessel 1. Vessel 1 maintained course and speed; as the two vessels closed on each other the Operator of Vessel 2 lost his balance and struck the rudder of Vessel 2, turning Vessel 2 into Vessel 1. Vessel 2 collided with Vessel 1, resulting in the tiller of Vessel 1 turning sharply and striking an Occupant aboard Vessel 1 in the neck.
