RedactedNarrative: Operator #1 stated to the effect: We were anchored and fishing when a sailboat came from the south and headed straight towards us as if to check and see what we were catching. It came in too close off our bow and got caught in my anchor line. While it was caught in the line, due to the waves and wind, it spun around and crashed into the bow of my boat. 
  
  Operator #2 stated to the effect: I was looping around the mouth of the inlet trying to decide if I should try and enter it. While looping around I came too close to the other boat and got sucked in, because of the wind and waves. My rudder became caught in his anchor line, and pulled my stern into his bow. It was my fault. 
  
  Witness #1 stated to the effect: We were fishing at anchor when we saw a sailboat under sail coming right at us. We started to yell out watch where you are going. He then came too close and caught the anchor line. The sailboat then started crashing in to the bow of our boat. 
  
  Investigation revealed: Vessel #1 was anchored in the Atlantic Ocean, Berkeley Township, just outside of Barnegat Light Inlet facing southeast. Vessel #2 was traveling from south to the north under sail. While traveling north, Operator #2 was in very close proximity of Vessel #1, and became entangled in the anchor line after striking it with its rudder. Due to the prevailing winds, and wave height, Vessel #2 then struck Vessel #1 while trying to untangle the caught anchor line. The port stern of Vessel #2 struck the port bow of Vessel #1 causing damage to the hull and bow pulpit. Operator #1 was eventually able to cut the anchor line releasing the two vessels. Several scrapes and gouges were observed to the port hull of Vessel #1. Damage was also observed to the rub rail, as well as a crushed bow pulpit. Vessel #2 reported no damage. No injuries were reported.
