I have never seen a power boat high-centered on a sailboat

Just a quick article on the incident.

Now that I think about it...that is one well built sailboat hull.

I wonder if there was much damage to the front of the fishing boat?

That's interesting.  My guess was the powerboat had cut power just before impact, so she was pitched bow-up.  Instead, the angle came from the sailboat being heeled to starboard.

A  guy on the Sea Ray forum was on that boat and said it was some type of material that was real lightweight. Apparently the boat only weighed 3000 lbs but I find that hard to believe.
