Vessel 2 was at anchor at the time of the incident; Vessel 1 was under sail at the time of the incident.  Vessel 1 was travelling on a course to collide with Vessel 2, however, the position of the sails on Vessel 1 affected the ability  of the Operator to see the danger and no additional lookout had been posted aboard Vessel 1.  At approximately 25 yards away from collision one of the Occupants aboard Vessel 2 saw Vessel 1 approaching and cried out; alerted of the danger the Operator of Vessel 1 attempted to avoid the collision by turning to port but was too close to avoid contact with Vessel 2.  The starboard side of Vessel 1 struck the port side of Vessel 2; the Operator of Vessel 1 then circled Vessel 2 a few times and then left the scene.  The Operator of Vessel 2 contacted USA Tow/USCG Station Lorain to investigate the incident.
