RedactedNarrative: On December 19, 2021 at approximately 11:15 PM a vessel struck US Coast Guard documented vessel “Sunwise” while it was anchored, causing damage and left the scene. No injuries were reported from the three occupants of “Sunwise”. 
  At approximately 11:00 Am I arrived on scene to interview the owner of the struck vessel and photograph the damage. I identified the vessel by United States Coast Guard Documented number D01193058 as a 37ft Hunter sailboat named “Sunwise”. 
  	OWNER 1 told me that at approximately 11:15 PM on 12/19/2021, “Sunwise” was anchored near 4200 N. Flagler Dr and all 3 occupants were in bed. OWNER 1 felt a collision and immediately came up onto the deck. He described seeing a 25ft white center console vessel, with white outboard engines, without any navigation lights backing away from the midship port side of “Sunwise”. He described the occupants of the striking vessel as two middle aged white males. OWNER 1 attempted to speak with the occupants of the striking vessel. The two occupants had music playing on the striking vessel and ignored OWNER 1’s attempts to contact them from the deck of “Sunwise”. The striking vessel was last seen traveling North on the ICW. OWNER 1 told me that “Sunwise’s” anchor light was on and functional at the time of the incident and the full moon that night increased the visibility.
  	OWNER 1 was able to contact the US Coast Guard that night and was referred to call FWC for reporting. I photographed the damage to the vessel, however OWNER 1 had to made some emergency repairs before I arrived to preserve the cabin. He provided me with photographs of the damage before his patch that show the extent of the damage. I measured the damage to be approximately 24 inches in length. The damage to the hull appears to be caused by the bow of the striking vessel puncturing through the fiberglass, compromising the integrity of the hull. The striking vessel appears to have made a near perpendicular collision with Sunwise, as I did not observe and scuffs or scratches that would indicate the vessels scraping alongside each other. 
  	OWNER 1 provided me with a quote to repair the damages to “Sunwise” totaling $5,000.00 including labor, supplies, haul out, and storage time in the boat yard. 
  	After canvassing the area, I was unable to locate any security camera footage of the incident or a vessel matching the description of the striking vessel in the area near the time of the incident. I have notified the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office Marine Unit to be on the lookout for a vessel with that description and damage consistent with the incident. 
  	As of this writing I have not located any footage or received any information regarding the striking vessel.
