Vessel #1 was anchored and the occupants were fishing.  Vessel # 2 was under sail and manned by the operator only.  The operator of vessel #2 was looking through a pair of binoculars for some friends of his. When he lowered the glasses, his vision forward was blocked by the Jib Sail. He then observed vessel #2 and determined there was a risk of collision. Operator #1 first tried to point the vessel into the wind but didn't get the results he expected.  So he lowered the Jib Sail and let the vessel fall off before the wind but the vessel still struck vessel#1.
