Interestingly, the article suggests the 2 casualties went overboard first, before the RIB hit the yacht.
Hmmm, even more possibilities for speculation.
Thank goodness there were no serious injuries

"Both vessels are quite badly damaged and we're putting out navigation warnings for that fact that this yacht has sunk at its mooring with the rigid inflatable boat in the side of it."
Quality!

My Oppo, with whom I work, is with the CG Cliff Rescue. He was called out on this one. This guys were allegedly under the influence at 1o'clock in the morning. The helm tried to say that his speed had been within the 8 knt limit, The throttle on the rib was found to be in the WOT position. He could have hit it on impact, but to sink a moored yacht there had to some speed involved.

It's Penryn, I'd never be at home if expected to photograph all of the drunken shenanigans and dodgy goings-on.
