AS VESSEL 1 TURNED UPWIND, IT DROPPED SAILS AND THE OPERATOR THREW OUT THE ANCHOR IN AN ATTEMPT TO ANCHOR THE VESSEL.  THE ANCHOR FAILED TO GRAB, AND THE WIND CAUSED THE VESSEL TO DRIFT BACKWARDS.

THE WIND CONTINUED TO PUSH VESSEL BACK UNTIL IT COLLIDED WITH VESSEL 2, CAUSING A DENT IN THE STARBOARD SIDE OF VESSEL 2.
NO DAMAGE WAS REPORTED ON VESSEL 1.  NO INJURIES REPORTED TO EITHER VESSEL.
