ON JUNE 5, 2011 AROUND 09:00 VESSEL 2 WAS DOCKED AT OLD TOWN YACHT CLUB IN BEAUFORT NC.  VESSEL 1 WAS APPROACHING DOCK IN IDLE SPEED TOWARD WHERE VESSEL 2 WAS DOCKED.  VESSEL 1 HAD A PASSENGER ON THE BOW OF THE BOAT HOLDING A CAST NET.  VESSEL 1 WAS GOING TO GET CLOSE TO THE DOCK SO THE PASSENGER COULD THROW HIS NET TO CATCH BAIT FOR FISHING.  WHEN VESSEL 1 GOT TO THE POINT OF NEEDING TO BACK UP, THE SHIFTER CABLE BROKE.  VESSEL 1 COULD NOT BACK UP AND COLLIDED WITH VESSEL 2 ON THE BACK HALF OF THE PORT SIDE CAUSING FIBERGLASS DAMAGE.
