Default Sank at the dock

Years ago the wake from the Y boat sank my in-laws' boat at the dock. We had some rain overnight and the boat's transom was probably riding lower than usual. One minute the boat was riding at the dock and a few minutes later the boat was sitting on the bottom.

Around that same time we had a small daysailer. I was trying to sail through the markers at the north end of Mark and either the Doris or Sophie went by. They didn't slow down and the wake was enormous. I bobbed so violently I thought the mast stays were going to snap.
