The bow wave seems to have pushed them away, and they might possibly
have escaped with no damage if the spinnaker hadn't hung up on the
anchor.


I was surprised to see so many yachts sailing near that ship and also the
ship making such way. I mean it seemed to be really zooming along. Looked
like an overly congested area ripe for such an incident.


You see that in San Francisco Bay also. Lots of sail racing near the
Golden Gate Bridge and is in the VTS area.
