On Saturday, June 9, 2012 at approximately 3:00 PM Vessel 1 was attempting to leave slip E-64 in North Point Marina.  As Vessel 1 entered the center of the channel, Vessel 1 was blown North/North East towards slip D-61 due to the 10 mph South wind.  Vessel 1''s bow pulpit and anchor made contact with Vessel 2''s stern safety railing causing the railing to bend, crease, and become lifted from the deck before the two vessels seperated.  

No damage was done to Vessel 1.

The owner of Vessel 2 stated the damage sustained to the safety railing would result in replacing the entire rail, which is a custom made stainless steel railing.  This information was given to him by the boat manufacturer (Cape Dory).

No enforcement action was taken on this accident.
