In race 3, the boat skippered by Sam Williams was hit by a jet ski near the leeward gate. The craft, which was apparently out of control, created the hole you see here which knocked down the V15's mast. Skippers Danny Pletsch and Bobby Martin both stopped to give assistance. The sailors were commended at the awards ceremony.

Geeze -- almost got nailed by a jet ski years ago on a local lake - was on a Coronado 15 figured the collision would probably kill someone. Man I hope these guys are OK. Charges should be filed against the Jetski owner.

Does anyone have more information about this collision. Totally sketchy. I hope everyone involved is OK.
