RedactedNarrative: Vessel drifting anchor boating accident.
  
  On 4/22/16 at approximately 1535 hours I was dispatched to a boating accident just North of Nixon beach. Once I arrived on scene I came along side the struck vessel (V2), a 43' sailboat (DO1177316). The owner was on board. 
  
  V2 owner provided a sworn written statement and explained how the accident happened. According to V2 owner the striking vessel (V1) was dragging anchor and drifting towards V2 owner's sailboat. V2 owner immediately began whistling and his wife began sounding an air horn. 
  
  When V1 noticed and they began to go forward to try and avoid collision, V1 did very minor damage to V2. V2 was the only vessel that sustained any damages and it was on the bow railing, it was bent slightly to the port side. V2 had a total of 2 people on board and was in compliance with all the required safety equipment.
  
  V1 captain also provided a sworn written statement and explained what happened. According to Operator1 the vessel he was operating (V1 81' Beneteau, FL4100PM) began to drift anchor and was drifting in a Southwest direction towards V2. Operator1 claims to have regained control of the vessel prior to making contact to V2 and does not believe damage could have been done. He also held a valid Merchant Mariner credential for operating vessels less than 100 gross tons. V1 had a total of 10 people on board and was in compliance with all the required safety equipment.
