While pulling an anchor, sailing vessel lost control due to weather conditions and tidal current, struck a catamaran, causing damage to port bow.  No injuries to anyone involved.
On March 13, 2023 Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission was dispatched to a boating accident in the area of Intracoastal Waterways and West Palm Beach City Docks.  
When I arrived, I spoke with the owner of 46-feet, 1998, white Catamaran, federally documented. V2 told me, earlier that day, a sailing vessel was pulling out anchor to leave the area.  Tidal current and wind pushed it onto his boat.  The rack installed on the stern of the vessel to secure a dingy struck the a port bow of his vessel causing substantial damage to the fiberglass.  Owner exchanged information with involved vessel. Due to the size and nature of damages, owner requested a vessel accident report.
1972, 45-feet, sailing vessel, named V1.  I contacted the insurance company and the owner of the “V1”; all collaborative sequence of events. No damage to this vessel was reported. No injuries were reported.
