RedactedNarrative: V1 was traveling west bound in Santa Rosa Sound towing V3. V1 had five people on board. V3 had one person on board. V2 was traveling west bound in Santa Rosa Sound with three adults and three juveniles on board. V2 struck V1 on the stern port side. V2 came to a stop with its starboard catamaran approximately a third of the way onto V1. Occupants from V1 and V2 were able to separate the vessels. No serious injuries were sustained in the accident. Both vessels received damage in the accident. 
  
  A determination of how the accident occurred was arrived at after reviewing statements from the subjects involved and reviewing the damage from the vessels involved. The Glacier Bay was traveling at approximately 5-10 MPH causing the bow of the vessel to be raised which impeded the vision of the operator not allowing her to see what was directly in front of the vessel. The Glacier Bay was headed northwest at approximately 7:45 pm. The sunset for 6-20-15 was at 7:53 pm that evening. Due to the vessel traveling to the northwest and the sun being on the horizon it is my opinion that the visibility of the operator was hindered and was a contributing factor in the accident. The Glacier bay struck the Proline at an angle of approximately 20 degrees. The Glacier Bays starboard side hull struck the Proline on the port stern. Due to the bow of the Glacier Bay being raised when the vessels struck, the Glacier Bays starboard side continued traveling on top of the Proline and came to rest approximately one third of the way on top of the Proline. Subjects from both vessels pushed the vessels apart. 2 occupants from v1 later went to seek medical attention for neck injury (strained muscle) and contact burn on right shoulder. 
  
  The Glacier Bay received fiberglass damage on the front starboard side and a crack in the anchor pulpit. The Proline received damage to the transom where impact was made. The fiberglass was damaged on the transom and pushed down into a compartment on the back of the vessel causing damage to the compartment. 
  
  On 7-3-15 I issued Operator2 a citation for violation of Navigational Rule 5, Failure to Maintain Proper Look-out. Nothing Further.
   
  Occupant2 sought medical treatment on 6-21-15. He stated that he had muscle soreness in his neck and back. He was treated and released the same day.; Occupant1 sought medical attention on 6-22-15. She informed me that medical personnel stated she had a second degree burn on her shoulder from being hit by the striking vessel. She also stated that she had muscle soreness in her shoulder. She was treated and released the same day.
