The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of the capsizing and sinking of the U.S. fishing vessel LARK was the joint decision of the coxswain of the CG-41362 and the captain of the LARK to attempt to refloat the grounded vessel under conditions of darkness and with limited knowledge o the vessel's stability. Contributing to the grounding was the lack of a functioning anchoring system. Contributing to the capsizing was the failure of the Coast Guard to indoctrinate the coxswain concerning Coast Guard policies related to rendering assistance to grounded vessels.
