RedactedNarrative: On December 22, 2021 at approximately 1320 hours, I, Game Warden was notified of a boating incident at Jekyll Island Harbor Marina on Jekyll creek.  I contacted the captain, of the motor yacht, which was docked at the time, and he informed me that a sailing vessel was trying to leave the dock and lost steering or propulsion and struck the docked vessel.  He stated that he already had pictures and that he operated and took care of the vessel for the elderly owners who were no longer at the vessel.  He stated the offending vessel drifted down river and was able to moor at the Jekyll Island boat ramp dock.
  	I arrived on scene and went to the Jekyll Island boat ramp where I met O2, who is the owner and operator of the sailing vessel.  O2 told me that he was docked in front of the V1 and was attempting to leave the dock to continue their journey.  He told me that he was throttling up to get away from the dock and all of the sudden he lost propulsion and control of the vessel.  The strong winds blew the stern of his vessel into the port side of the docked vessel causing damage.  Operator 2's vessel took damage to his mounted grill and bent pipe structure that is part of his vessel.  The docked vessel sustained fiberglass and gel coat damage to the port side. A scratch and another circular spot were noticed and documented.  The motor vessel, is documented as vessel 1 and the sailing vessel Gratitude is documented as vessel 2.  
  
  The cause of the incident is mechanical failure/malfunction.
