RedactedNarrative: Vessel 2 was sailing west when they observed vessel 1 coming towards them.  Vessel 2 took on a starboard tack and vessel 1 took on a port tack.  Vessel 2 compensated to avoid a bow collision and vessel 1 struck vessel 2 on its starboard side.  Vessel 1 and 2 became entangled and drifted into the path of vessel 3 striking it as well.  All boats were eventually freed from each other.
