SUMMARY

During a storm, the vessel 1 was left at the dock and sustained damage to the stern and engine. 

CALL OUT

On July 14th at 1600 hours dispatch called me to make a phone call to a subject about her boat being in an accident on July 9th. I called her and she stated that she was at the park and would like a report taken for her insurance on her boat being damaged by another boat during the storm last Sat. 

CONTACT WITH subject

I made contact with subject at the north marina boat ramp. Subject1 stated that he had come to the bay and during the storm he tied his boat up to the west courtesy dock in the north marina and ran to the bathrooms to get out of the storm. When he came back to take his boat back to the south marina, his trolling plate was damaged and was hitting the prop. That was when he noticed the other fiberglass damage to his boat. He stated that he thought there was another boat that had indeed slammed his boats stern several times, enough to bend his trolling plate and cause fiberglass damage that was visible. There was also damage done to his motor, enough to where you could turn the motor side to side. This would not have been possible if there was no damage done to the motor. 

NOTE

The storm on Saturday was probably 50 plus mile winds as well as 2 foot waves in the marina. 

STATEMENT FROM subject

Rain and wind started so we docked the boat at the North Marina and we went under cover in the restrooms for about an hour in a half. Upon returning my boat had damage to the rear end. the boat is also leaking water. No other vehicles were around.
