Summary of facts—explain incident & investigations conducted
On Friday the 10th day of April 2015, the DCV Jet X 29084QE and a sailboard were operating in
The Incident the South Wave Break Island channel when they collided.
The Jet X, a 6.69 metre alloy constructed thrill ride boat powered by a inboard diesel engine
through a jet propulsion unit, was on the return leg of a 55 minute cruise/joyride of the
Broadwater when it negotiated a shallow narrow channel known as the "shortcut" emerging in
the South Wavebreak Island Channel.

Include full particulars
of vessels, voyage and
location of incident.
At the helm as master was
a commercially qualified Coxswain. Onboard
were a total of 11 passengers made up of 8 adults and 3 children.

As the Jet X entered the channel, a windsurfer owned and operated by
commenced a south westerly run from Wave Break Island after turning in the shallows at the
island.
TI
At 11.32am,
navigated across the channel and performed a spin in the water
adjacent to the sandbank. The spin brought the Jet X to a stationary position with its head
pointing in a north westerly direction
then accelerated away from the stopped
position and applied port helm to achieve a large port sweeping turn before entering the 6 knot
area near the Grand Hotel. He failed to observe the windsurfer.

watched the Jet X arrive in the channel at speed, spin, stop and accelerate again. He
continued to watch the progress of the jet-boat as the gap between himself and the jet-boat
decreased and on deciding that the jet-boat was not going to take action to avoid the collision,
assessed that if he altered to starboard, the jet-boat would go behind him. He was unaware that
had neither seen him or that the jet-boat was not navigating a straight course. He
altered between 10 and 15 degrees to starboard and continued some 50 to 60 metres before
realising a collision was imminent. Immediately before impact,
let go of his boom and
covered his head. He was then struck by the starboard stern quarter of the jet-boat, knocked
from his upright position and went under the stern of the jet-boat.

lea
The above incident was reported to Maritime Safety Queensland on Monday the 13th day of
The
April 2015 by both the master of Jet X and the windsurfer. As a consequence, it was detailed to
Investigation the investigating Marine Safety Inspector on the 15/4/2015.
Re
The incident was subsequently categorised as a cat 3 Marine Incident. Both persons involved
reported the incident as occurring on the 10th of April 2015 at approximately 11.32am.
The I/O has confirmed that ship 1, Jet X - 29086QE was issued with a Certificate of Operation for
an existing vessel. It is a alloy constructed 6.69 metre mono hull jet boat powered by a 308.9kW
main engine. At the time of the incident, it was operating within its permitted smooth water (E)
limits and being operated by Jet Boat Extreme Pty Ltd.
The master of ship 1 is identified as
DOB Personal Affairs and was found to
be the holder of both a Certificate of Competency as a Restricted (Sheltered Waters) Coxswain
Grade 1 and a Marine Engine Driver Grade 2.

A statement was obtained from
on the 17th of April 2015. In his statement he describes
the lead up to the incident and his activity that included sailing a circuit at speeds between 15
and 20 knots within the South Wave Break Island channel between the Labrador channel and
the south western end of Wave Break Island. He recalls the jet boat first performing a spin on the
southern side of the channel before accelerating again. At this time, he was sailing a south
westerly course and the jet boat was off to his port side. The jet boat continued increasing
speed from his spin and stopped position and
who now thought he was aiming at him
performed an assessment of the risk of collision if he continued and deemed that if he did
nothing a collision would result. He then describes veering off to the west to give the jet boat
room to go under his stern. He continued to watch the jet boat over his shoulder and
determined that the master of ship 1had done nothing and a collision was imminent. He
believed he was going to be killed and immediately brought both hands up to protect his head.
The starboard stern quarter of the jet boat impacted and knocked him from the board and he
then went under the stern before coming to the surface. He further describes the masters
actions and his recovery to shore.

The I/O attended the office of Jetboat Extreme on the 17th of April and was provided with a
document entitled Supporting Evidence of Marine Incident and on request, a copy of the
passenger manifest and logbook for the day in question. The supporting evidence provided by
was drafted after he had read information about the incident on a windsurfer forum
found on the Seabreeze website.

Statements were obtained from a passenger and witnesses on the foreshore at Labrador.
ele
as
On the 16th day of July 2015,
in company with his Solicitor
attended the Maritime Safety Queensland office on the Gold Coast and willingly took part in an
electronically recorded record of interview. This interview focused on the failure by
in relation to his duty as a master of a DCV to take reasonable care for the safety of persons who
may be affected by his acts or omissions. [Section 17(1)(b)]. During this interview, he attempted
to claim privilege as a stand on vessel but later reluctantly admitted not seeing the windsurfer
until after impact.
whilst able to recite specific rules from the International
Regulations for the Prevention of Collisions at Sea, clearly had little understanding of the
application of those rules.
readily answered all questions and admitted not being distracted or reacting to any
onboard emergency. He was familiar with the area and knew that on windy days, windsurfers
operated in the area. He had not previously assessed or mitigated the risks associated with
operating in close proximity to windsurfers and on the 10th of April, saw 2 windsurfers
He could offer no reason or excuse for failing to take reasonable care for the safety of persons in
relation to his duty as a master.

The I/O determined that
had failed in his obligation to maintain a proper lookout
(Rule 5) and in doing so did not determine by any means if risk of collision existed (Rule 7) nor
did he take action to avoid a collision. (Rule 8)
There is no evidence to suggest that fatigue, drugs or alcohol contributed in any way to this
incident.

4. I remember Friday the 10th of April 2015. On that day I took some time away from work to go
windsurfing in the area adjacent to the Grand Hotel Labrador. The wind on the day was southeast
and had an estimated speed of no more than 15 knots. As a consequence, I chose to use my JP slalom
66 board that is described as a board 2.4 metres long, 0.66 metre wide and has 108 litres of
buoyancy. I rigged it with a Severne Reflex 6 sail measuring 7.8 metres. I was wearing a red rashie
and shorts underneath a black purpose built harness and thick padded Prolimit life jacket.

5. Whilst windsurfing on that day, I had attached a GPS, a highly accurate, speed windsurfing racing
approved Locosys GT-3 that enables me to record both my track and speed at one second update
R
interval. I have a programme on my computer that enables downloading of the day’s activities and I
-D
TM
am able to review, print or share through social media with others. I was using the GPS device on
this day.
6. About 11.32am, according to my GPS data, on that day I navigated a north easterly course towards
the south western corner of Wavebreak Island before turning downwind and commencing an almost
reciprocal course towards the Grand Hotel. I believe there was one other windsurfer in the area at
TI
this time. I was tracking at a speed of between 15 and 20 knots in the light winds when I saw that a
yellow and red commercial jet boat was now off to my approximately 45 degrees front/left site and
rR
also operating within the same channel. I watched him over my shoulder and saw him do a spin
about 100 meters away followed by a freestyle, swinging the jet boat’s back left and right before
de
taking off again in straight line in my general direction.
7. I continued on my course whilst I monitored the jet boats’ movements and soon after determined
un
that he appeared to be accelerating towards me. I kept watching as the distance between us
decreased from about 90 to 50 meters and I then made a deliberate minor course change to my right
to give the jet boat more space and at that time remember thinking he should now be pointing
d
behind me as I was constantly moving forward. He didn’t and I felt as if he was aiming right at me
se
and constantly adjusting his course to achieve that. As the distance between us decreased rapidly to
about 10-15 meters I knew, having many years of boating and competition water skiers towing
lea
experience, that there is no way collision can be avoided at that speed, estimated to be around 50
km/h. As the boat’s front was perfectly lined up with my head there was no chance to escape and at
that moment I thought it was all over and I was going to be killed. Immediately before the collision I
Re
brought both my hands and arms up to protect my head and turned my side and buttock towards
the boat in order to position my head as far as possible from the impact.
8. On impact with my body and board, I remember going under the right rear of the vessel before re-
surfacing. The jet boat I now know as Gold Coast Jet X was now stopped and had approached me in
the water. I was disorientated, shocked and could not believe what had just happened. I saw a

number of people in the jet boat and the skipper, a person I now know as
then arrived and was also assisting. I provided
he could go. He kept asking if I was OK and I sa
s feeling glad to be

with my details and told him that I was OK and

whole time and you didn’t see me?” A fellow windsurfer who came to help also asked him why he is
doing this? (He recognized this driver who came so close to him in the similar manner just week prior
to this accident. When my follow windsurfer lost the balance due to a large spray and water, this driver
came back and laughed together with the passengers and then took off.) He didn’t respond but asked
again if I was OK and if I’m ok to get to shore. I said that I was ok and being only hundred meters
from shore and surrounded by many sand banks I said I was ok to manage to get back with my
TI
fellow windsurfer’s help if needed.
rR
9. I was then assisted ashore by the other windsurfer. I inspected my gear once ashore and saw that I
had a crack in my board, the boom was damaged and I had a tear in my harness. Friends ashore had
seen the incident and over the next 2 hours supported me before eventually convincing me to get
de
back on the windsurfer in an effort to face my fears or “get back on the horse” to help get over the
physiological aspect of the collision. I then fitted a new, smaller sail and spare boom to a different,
un
much larger board and went out on the water for one slow run towards the Wave Break Island and
back. I started to feel the pain so I finished. During that period a jet boat from the same company
again appeared however this time stayed well away from the area and drove through the deep
d
South-North channel towards the Gold Coast Seaway.
se
10. I then recovered my gear and went home. I was now feeling the effects of the collision and had a
very sore chest, left ankle and wrist and also neck muscles. I thought may have broken a rib. My left
lea
ankle and arm had now swollen, I noted the onset of bruising to my left hip, legs and felt as though I
had strained neck muscles. Over the weekend I regularly applied an ice pack in order to reduce the
Re
swelling and pain.
11. I downloaded the data from my GPS and was able to clearly see my course and speed. The recorded
track for my last leg sailed pre-incident clearly showed the alteration of course to starboard and the
north.

12. On the following Monday (13/4/15), I attended my family doctor who examined me and recorded
his findings. It was decided to wait a few days to x-ray my chest. I reported that I was suffering some
dizzy spells throughout my day. The x-ray results later confirmed some soft tissue swelling and
R
undisplaced fractures. I was prescribed the medication in order to deal with my vertigo symptoms
-D
TM
and I’m still receiving medical treatment.
13. As a consequence of a phone call with Maritime safety Queensland, I downloaded and completed a
marine incident report. In this report I provided my version of events and to the best of my
recollection, drew a diagram depicting my course and location together with the course of the jet
boat prior to impact. I over-laid the downloaded GPS data with Google earth and printed this out on
TI
an A4 sheet of paper before drawing in what I believed was the approximate location and course of
rR
the jet boat. The downloaded GPS data is a true and accurate record and has not been altered.
14. Later that week I attended the office of Maritime Safety Queensland where I made this statement
de
