RedactedNarrative: V1 was fishing/trolling in a sw direction and collided with v2 which was sailing in a nw direction. Operator of v1 was seated facing backwards tending his fishing lines when the bow of his vessel struck midship on the starboard side of v2.
  
   Operator of v2 advised he had tacked several minutes prior to the collision to travel sw toward the commercial pier. Passenger had attempted to yell out to v1 operator to get his attention just prior to the collision but it did not allow enough time for the vessels to avoid the collision. Both vessels were still operable and there were no injuries.
  
   V1 suffered minor fiberglass damage to the bow area while v2 had several sections of stainless steel railing and life line ripped away from the fiberglass midship on the starboard side.
