Vessel 2 was launched at the launch ramp, then tied up to the courtesy dock with one passenger still on board while the Operator of Vessel 2 went to park the trailering vehicle.  In the launch lane immediately adjacent to Vessel 2, the Operator and Passenger of Vessel 1 were attempting to retrieve and trailer Vessel 1.  During the retrieval process, the Operator of Vessel 1 failed to maintain control of his vessel, resulting in Vessel 1 drifting over into the lane where Vessel 2 was tied to the courtesy dock.  The starboard portion of the swim platform on Vessel 1 then struck the port side of Vessel 2, causing a slight puncture and several scratches on the port (left) midsection of Vessel 2's fiberglass hull.  The impact of the collision also pushed the starboard side of Vessel 2 into the dock resulting in a buckling in the fiberglass hull of Vessel 2 on the starboard side and a hairline fracture approximately 18 inches in length.  There was no reported or visible damage to Vessel 1.
