If they had been wearing cycle helmets they would have been seen.
Worst case the cycle helmet force field would have prevented the crash.

Did the bigger boat have the nautical equivalent of fixed-wheel and
no brakes?

Perhaps the skipper believed that shouting "Get out of the way; I'm
not stopping" was sufficient?

I have learnt from this group that those that shout get vilified so it
is much better to keep silent.

blocking his view."

There is none so blind as he who will not see, of course.
