RedactedNarrative: Both vessels were navigating the narrow channel between Burton Island and Killkare State Park.  Vessel 1 was moving into the channel at approximately 15 mph when he realized another vessel was in the channel and headed towards him.  Vessel 1 advised he turned to the left and was struck by vessel 2 in the starboard side.  Vessel 2 advised he had just taken in his anchor and was headed through the channel at approximately 10 mph.  Vessel 2 advised he saw Vessel 1 headed towards him so he attempted to turn to the right but Vessel 1 turned in front of him and the bow of his Vessel struck Vessel 1.  Investigation revealed both vessels were operating at greater than 5 mph within a narrow channel and within 200 feet of another vessel and Vessel 1 violated the navigation rules by turning left in a head on situation.
