On 8/23/2012 at approximately 6 p.m. a 37' cabin motorboat (Vessel 1)  was at anchor in Friday Harbor near Browns Point.  A 54'4" auxiliary sailboat (Vessel 2)struck V-1, hitting the anchor roller and bow pulpit.  Pulpit sank into the water.  V-2 sustained only cosmetic damage to the top rail.  V2 indicated autopilot failure and steering failure.
 
Operator1 went to the San Juan County Sheriff's Office and was given a Boating Accident Report to complete. When he returned with the completed BAR, the sheriff's office sent a BAR to the operator of V-2 for completion. No injuries were reported. Alcohol use did not appear to be a factor. 
 
Law enforcement did not go to the scene.
