Fatal collision in Sydney, experienced sailor dies. What happened?🤔😨

Tragedy in Sydney Harbour: a violent collision between two sailboats has claimed the life of 51-year-old Niko Lassing, an experienced sailor and successful businessman. The incident occurred during two separate social races, involving the Pendragon, with three crew members on board, and the Delinquent, carrying nine. The collision happened off Bradley’s Head at around 6:30 PM local time, with Lassing sustaining a severe chest injury. Despite the immediate intervention of the crew and emergency services, his injuries proved fatal, and he was pronounced dead shortly after. Authorities have seized both vessels and are conducting thorough investigations, including drug and alcohol tests for the skippers. Residents in the Watsons Bay and Vaucluse areas have been asked to review any CCTV footage overlooking the water for potential evidence. The Cruising Yacht Club of Australia, where the Pendragon was docked, expressed its deepest sympathies to Lassing’s family, friends, and all those affected by this tragic event."
