RedactedNarrative: Owner #1 stated in effect: We had just come back in and tied up. I was on the dock and my wife was standing on board when we heard a creaking noise.  We looked up and saw the mast of the sailboat falling toward her.  She was able to avoid being hit, but it crashed down on my boat causing a lot of damage. 
  
  Investigation Revealed:  Vessel #1 and Vessel #2 were docked at Katz's Marina, Henderson Cove.  Vessel #1 positioned one slip to the left of vessel #2.  Vessel #2 experienced an equipment failure resulting in the mast falling to the left, directly on to the forward hull/wind deflector area of vessel #1.  The vessels and mast were left unmoved until the investigators arrival.  Damage to Vessel #1 hull and wind deflector was noted. Owner #2 was not present, this case is pending contact with owner #2.  The cause of this vessel accident can be attributed to an unforeseen mechanical malfunction (pin) at the base of Vessel 2's mast.
