We hear sometimes about ships hitting yachts at sea. I have never heard of ships hitting each other, though. Since there are far more ships than yachts at sea, it would seem likely that ships would hit each other much more often than they hit yachts all else being equal.
It would seem that two ships hitting each other at 20 knots or more each would be deadly.
If all my assumptions are true, then there must be something special about yachts that makes them more difficult to see rather than the often suggested theory that they don't keep good watch.
Could it be possible that being small and plastic, that yachts just don't always show up on radar?
