RedactedNarrative: A boating accident occurred on July 2, 2019 in a mooring field in Newport Harbor involving a 28-foot sailboat, and a 75-foot motor yacht (Enticer). EPO was dispatch to the scene. He met with Newport Harbor Master who took EPO in his patrol boat to the mooring where the accident occurred.  EPO spoke with operators of both boats.  
  
  The Enticer is a charter vessel but that evening it was used as a recreational voyage for the owner and his guests, 58 passengers to view the fireworks that evening. 
  
  Operator2 stated that he was underway in the mooring field traveling 3 knots.  He observed a vessel on direct course headed towards his starboard bow traveling approximately 5 knots.  Operator2 activated the air horn and prepared for impact as there was not enough time to avoid collision.  Operator2 stated that the sailboat struck the Enticer at a 90-degree angle.  There were no injuries reported.  However, sailboat operator and passenger of the 28-ft sailboat claimed minor injuries but refused treatment and/or transport to the hospital. Damages to both vessels were minor scrapes to the boats hull finishes.
