RedactedNarrative: Operator #1 Stated: "We were in a tight spot, the wind and current pushed me into the sailboat anchor. I was training the owner of the vessel when this occurred."
  
  Witness #1 Stated: " Captain had lifted the engine out of the water accidentally when he grabbed the throttle. That is why he lost control of the boat and we hit the sailboat. "
  
  Investigation at the scene revealed Operator #1 attempting to get control of Vessel #1 while docking. Operator #1 accidentally pushed the trim button on the throttle causing the motor to lift out of the water. The strong current caused Vessel #1 to drift into Vessel #2, which was moored at the dock. 
  
  Vessel #1 sustained damage to the port side windshield, causing the glass to break and the frame of the windshield to become damaged. Vessel #2 did not sustain any visible damage. No injuries were reported or observed as a result of this accident. 
  
  Vessel# 1 was removed from the water and placed onto a trailer prior to my arrival. The cause of this accident was due to Operator #1 lifting the engine out of the water when operating, causing him to lose control of the vessel. It should be noted that Operator# 1 was giving the owner of Vessel #1 instruction and docking lessons when this incident occurred.
