RedactedNarrative: On August 19th at approximately 2:45 I, Officer First Class of the Maryland Natural Resources Police, was dispatched to a report of a boat accident at Maryland Yacht Club(MYC). The complainant a member at MYC stated someone had struck the Catamaran Sailing Vessel "Tir Na Nog" on C dock at the end. Upon arrival via patrol boat I spoke with the original complainant who stated there was a witness on another dock that watched the incident occur. I met with the witness who was able to give me a written stated as to what occurred which is attached to this report. Witness1 stated she witnessed a runabout type vessel strike the sailing vessel at end of C dock. She stated there were at least two people on the vessel and she believes a dog. She stated the vessel struck the sailing boat hard enough to make a large hole on the port side. Witness1 and her Husband were able to obtain the numbers off the striking vessel "MD0838DB". Witness1 also stated the male operator of the runabout provided his information to the MYC office and then continued down the waterway to Fairview Marina.
  I was able to locate the vessel a Lagoon 380 "Tir Na Nog" on C dock that was struck and multiple pictures were taken and have been attached to this report. The damage appears to be extensive with a large hole on the port side of the vessel in the area of midship. I was able to contact the owner and advised him of what occurred to his vessel while it was docked. He stated his vessel was unoccupied and that he would be contacting his insurance company for a damage estimate.
  At this point in time I left MYC and proceeded to attempt to locate the striking vessel at Fairview Marina. I was able to locate the striking vessel a SeaRay 290 bearing the registration provided by the witness "MD0838DB". The Searay had a decent amount damage to the port side bow. Pictures were taken on the vessel and have been attached to this report.
  Based on my investigation and the information that was left at MYC I have been able to identify the operator of the striking vessel. I have attempted to contact Operator2 multiple times yet he has not returned my calls at this point in time.
  A BAR will be completed once I am able to make contact with Operator2.
  At this point in time I also have charges for Operator2;
  1) Failure to reduce speed to avoid collision.
  2) Failure to maintain a proper lookout.
  3) Failure to report a boat accident
  At this time the investigation is ongoing. A supplement will be added with additional information once it becomes available.
  All of the above events occurred in Anne Arundel County, MD.
