From 4/26/2010 incident report by Deputy Jefferson County Sheriff's Office: 

On 2/28/2010 around 1115 hours, Operator1 was leaving the linear dock at Point Hudson on his 43 foot trawler, Dream Weaver.  The wind was approximately 25 knots.  As he left the dock witnesses stated he tried to maneuver with his bow thrusters.  The wind overpowered the thrusters.  V1 then attempted to power out with the main engines and ultimately collided with two vessels moored on an adjacent dock after failing to control his vessel.

V1 struck v3 43 foot sailboat damaging the radar arch, caprail, paint, bimini top, dodger and wind generator, including the wiring.  V3 stated the damages were around $30,000.

V1 then struck v2 40 foot Cutter sailboat causing damages to the rudder, pintles and gudgeons.  V2 stated he would have to haul the boat from the water to get a complete estimate of damages but stated it was around $600.

V1 was instructed to cut the power to the vessel and witnesses assisted in hand-lining him back to the linear dock.

V1 estimated damages to the bow of his vessel at $5000.

No injuries were reported.
