RedactedNarrative: No persons have been identified, having actually observed when, where or how the victim entered the water from V1. 
  
  Based on the collective information received, it appears that the victim may have fallen overboard from V1 between 1500 Hrs and 1530 Hrs on 8/19/16, while it was underway. Based on where the victim''s hat was found and where V1 is believed to have been discovered aground, the victim may have entered the water approximately 1 mile east-southeast of the Perry Yacht Club. The victim''s body was also recovered in that general area. The depth of water for said area was approximately 23''-30''.
  
    
  
  Just prior to entering the water, it appears that the victim may have been struck by something, possibly the boom, on the left side of his forehead. The main sail was reportedly up when discovered by witnesses, and the boom was "loose" and angled off to the side. An unidentified substance, similar in appearance to dried blood, was later observed on the lower port side of the distal end of the boom. The lifeline was not secured on the port side of the companionway when officers first viewed V1 on the slip at the Yacht Club. The swim ladder was up and the anchor was in when witnesses found V1 aground. Scratches in the hull, appearing to be consistent with running aground, were later observed on both sides of V1''s bow.
  
  A witness reportedly had a beer with the victim prior to the incident and alcohol (cans and bottles) was found on V1. 
  
  The following weather data was obtained from NOAA''s website (weather.gov) regarding the Ozawkie, KS area on said date: At 1453 Hrs, winds were from the south at 12 mph, with gusts of 24 mph; the temperature was 88 degrees F. At 1553 Hrs, winds were from the southeast at 10 mph, with gusts of 23 mph.
  
  The victim''s body was observed floating near the surface of the water at 0716 Hrs on 8/20/16 and recovered immediately thereafter. The victim did not have a personal flotation device on when he was recovered.
  
  The cause of death was ruled as Drowning, with Ethanol intoxication as a contributor. The wind conditions may have been a contributor also.
