RedactedNarrative: On September 4, 2017 at 2:30 pm Officer responded to Bristol Harbor to investigate a boating accident involving two vessels. Officer report indicates that a 41’ auxiliary sailboat “SALONA’ was under sail navigating through a congested mooring field and struck a 39’ moored auxiliary sailboat. The owner of the moored 39’ sailboat “PRIVATEER” was below deck at the time of the collision and was the only person on board the vessel. The 6 persons aboard the SALONA and the owner of the PRIVATEER were not injured. The PRIVATEER sustained damage to its hull, starboard side, amidships. The cause of the accident occurred when the jib on the SALONA got caught on an open hatch preventing the operator of the SALONA to alter its course to avoid collision in congested waters under strong winds.
