RedactedNarrative: V-1 a 1971 32 foot Morgan sailboat was returning from sea transiting the Ponce De Leon Inlet. At one point V-1 neared marker 8 began to make a series of counterclockwise turns. During these turns V-1’s crew began to stow their sails transitioning from sail to power. V-1 was beginning to come out of its turns and head into the north cut area of Ponce. V-2 a 21 foot Prosport center console powerboat was at or near the area of marker 8. 
  
  V-1’s captain reports he and his passenger were in the process of stowing the sails and engaged in forward gear with the vessel’s auxiliary power. V-1’s captain reports that his passenger was the designated look out at the time. V-1’s passenger reports his attention was turned to stowing the sails and was not providing a proper look out. 
  
  V-2’s captain reports that he was in neutral and adrift attempting to charge the battery system. The captain of V-2’s attention was turned towards the stern of the vessel while the passenger was manipulating a battery switch. V-2 reports he was the designated lookout and his attention was turned to the electrical issue and was not providing a proper lookout.  
  
  Both V-1 and V-2 captains report conflicting accounts of V-2’s actions just prior to collision. V-1’s captain reports V-2 was in gear making way at 2 to 3 miles an hour in a direct bow on collision course with V-1 and at the last moment V-2 turns to starboard exposing his port side to V-1’s bow. 
  
  V-2’s captain reports he was adrift and in neutral assessing the electrical issue. At one point V-2 realized that V-1’s bow was on a collision course with V-2’s port side. In an effort to power out of the situation V-2's captain applied throttle; however not realizing he was still in neutral he did not make way and was struck by V-1’s bow causing minor damage V-1’s bow and significant damage to V-2’s port side. 
  
  Both V-1 and V-2s captains were issued written warnings for failure to provide proper lookouts.
