We think and hope it was just a loose boat. Never saw anyone in the water. A kayak was out there. Cutter was on scene when we left. Deployed a Zodiac and they looked to be retrieving the catimeran.

The 2010 Rags to Riches Regatta a colorful event for spectators and racers | Welcome to Walton Outdoors
Three laps around the buoys were taxing to the racers and their equipment. One boat foundered in the shifting winds at the east end of the course and had to be abandoned because of extensive damage. At least two others retired from the race and made it to shore safely. Several of the competitors were able to jury rig on-water repairs to complete the race.
