Operator #1 stated in effect: While leaving the slip at Wehrlen Brothers Marina, I turned towards the starboard side. 
The wind turned up and I accelerated too fast and struck a boat and pylon with my bow.

Investigation revealed:  Vessel #1 was facing east in slip D-11 at Wehrlen Brothers Marina. The operator of vessel #1 left the slip and proceeded to turn the vessel south while accelerating at the same time.  While attempting to negotiate the turn, vessel #1 struck a wooden pylon and vessel #2.  Vessel #2 was unoccupied and moored in slip C-39 with the bow facing west. Operator of vessel #1 then called for assistance using VHF channel 16.  Both vessels were heavily damaged as was the west
pylon of slip C-29.
