An explorer yacht of seventeen meters in length crashed into a moored Galeon sport yacht at the main channel of the new docks first, and then also into a thirteen meter Viking sportfish cruiser in Dana Yacht Point marina, California on the afternoon of Tuesday ninth December. According to CBS News reporting the owner of the yacht which collided into the two boats was learning how to operate the vessel, when he pushed the throttles by error, and with this sprinted his yacht ahead and colliding into the stern of the Galeon sport yacht which was moored on the head of the pier in the marina first and then also hitting a Viking sportfish cruiser on its port side. The Harbour Master and Orange County Sheriff came following the collision, which was witnessed by other boaters, and crews working on nearby yachts. No one was injured as the event was filmed and shared on all popular social media outlets.
The yacht which caused this collision is a Ocean Alexander 58 Pilothouse as produced from 2004 to 2014. The moored yachts were a Galeon 510 Skydeck as designed by Tony Castro and produced since 2016, and a first generation Viking 45 Convertible as produced from 1987 to 1993.
