The operator of vessel #1 was operating in the marina to moor the vessel in slip E17.  The operator was not familiar with the boat or its handling.  The operator approached the slip too fast and at a poor angle.  He was unable to slow down his vessel or change position before the bow struck the stern of vessel #2.

Damage to vessel #2 was estimated to be in excess of $3,000.00.  Damage to vessel #1 was estimated to be about $100.00.
