Investigation revealed:  Vessel #1 was properly secured to the dock.  Vessel #2 was approaching the dock attempting to moor.  Operator #2 brought the vessel to neutral,  and in so doing, did not compensate for the North West wind, which, subsequently caused vessel #2 to drift directly into the wooden piling locate on dock #5. Vessel #2 bounced off the piling and struck the bow of vessel #1.  Vessel #1 sustained damage to the bow of the vessel, specifically, the secured anchor crushed the bows hull. Minor scrapes and scratches were also sustained in the metal rubrail.  Vessel #2 sustained damage to the metal rods that secure the eight foot dinghy ver the stern of the vessel. Minor scrapes and scratches were also sustained to the port stern quarter.
