A sportfish cruiser of twelve meters in length titled Chaos collided and then sank a commercial fishing boat titled Petrel of about the same length outside of Mantauk Inlet, New York at around 06:30 morning time of Saturday eighteen July. Two persons were on the commercial fishing boat and three persons on the sportfish as the boats collided due to poor visibility of less to thirty meters in dense fog. The US Coast Guard assisted the after collision as a Sea Tow boat followed the sportfish boat as precaution due to possible water entry from the damage at the bow. The captain and crew of the commercial fishing boat jumped in the water on impact. The captain also suffered a shoulder injury and was taken to Stony Brook Southampton Hospital, and was released after treatment. East Hampton Town police charged the operator of the sportfishing boat with reckless operation. A salvage operation was being organized to re-float the commercial fishing boat which sank in about twenty meters of deep water.
The sportfish cruiser in this accident is a Cabo 40 Flybridge as designed by Michael Peters and produced from 2004 to 2008. The 40 Flybridge was replaced by the Cabo 38 Flybridge.
