Sailboat and fishing boat, collided on Friday in the Chesapeake Bay
Two people were aboard the sailboat, named Levitation, and seven were on the fishing boat called Hunter, the Coast Guard said. Maryland Natural Resources Police said the crash occurred near Thomas Point, which juts into the bay south of Annapolis.
The Hunter — which police described as a charter fishing boat from Kent Island, 10 miles east of Annapolis in the bay — overrode the sailboat and ended up atop its hull, until the two were almost perpendicular.
The bow of the fishing boat projected beyond one side of the sailboat’s hull, the port side. The stern projected beyond the other side of the sailboat.
In a photograph of the tangle, the fishing boat’s bow is seen pointed up, the stern down, touching the water.

Maybe the sailboat was trying to "levitate" the fishing boat?

Is that some variation of a flying jib?
