After a really heavy day sailing, we anchored at Galaxidi about 4:30 PM  The winds were still quite strong at the anchorage, 25 to 30 knots. About 8 PM, the wind strengthened to 40 knots. We end up dragging the anchor and made impact with a boat nearby.

Minor damage to the port bow pulpit stainless bent, small gouge out of the teak gunnel section and minor fibreglass.

The other smaller yacht had damage in the form of a couple of bent stanchions and minor fibreglass. We exchanged details and I accepted responsibility for the incident. The repairs are unlikely to exceed the insurance excess.
