2- Collision with Dock

Ugh, the crunching sound of carbon fiber was heard today at Bair Island. I had just completed a 2000m piece with a group of two 1x, and a 2- about 500m off my stern. The group was obviously working hard, and gaining on me through the piece. After the finish everyone sat for about 30 seconds before taking it up again and the 2- immediately hit a dock. What a sad sound! Bow seat was pretty upset, but the real trouble started when the bow deck started to sink lower and lower in the water. The guys had to back it in to the Stanford dock, with the deck completely submerged. That's got to hurt.
