RedactedNarrative: Operator of vessel #1 stated to the effect:  I was returning home from a fishing trip.  I have made this trip and navigated these waters for many years.  While navigating the stick channel behind Rum Point I made a slight turn to maintain a course within the marked channel.  As I made the turn I immediately came upon two sailboats anchored in the channel.  That is when our boats hit.  I did not see the sailboats on my radar and I did not see the anchor light on for either sailboat.  When I was leaving to go fishing both sailboats were anchored outside of the channel near the cove.  I think their anchor was dragging.  They were anchored in the channel when we hit.
  
  Operator of Vessel #2 stated to the effect:  We were sleeping and we got hit.  The boat hit us hard.
  
  Operator of Vessel #3 stated to the effect:  I was seated at my table when my boat was struck.  The impact was so great that it threw me out of the seat and onto the floor.
  
  
  Investigation revealed that Vessel #2 and Vessel #3 were anchored and rafted together in Brigantine Cove just past Rum Point.  Vessel #1 was underway and navigating the stick channel leading into Brigantine Cove.  As Vessel #1 was navigating a section of the channel same struck the bow of both Vessel #2 and Vessel #3 with the bow of Vessel #1.  This was indicated by the damage observed to all three vessels.  At the time of my arrival I observed all three vessels in close proximity of the channel.
  
  Victim #1 reported complaint of pain.  Denied medical treatment.
