RedactedNarrative: At approximately 08:00 a.m. on 11/05/2017, operator1 was attempting to undock at the beaufort city docks on taylors creek in beafurt, nc.  Conditions were clear and calm with little to no other vessel traffic. Visibilty was clear. 
  
  Operator1 backed out of his slip and intended to turn his bow to port in order to move forward into taylors creek channel, but accidentally maneuvered his bow to starboard.  He then attempted to back out of the docks into the channel and, as he moved towards the channel a strong current pushed his starbord side rail into the starboard hull of a 105' sailing yacht named “miniskirt” which was docked on the outside of a t-dock with its bow facing east.
   
  Operator1's vessel was traveling around 2 mph at the time of the impact.  Operator1's vessel sustained some slight damage to its gel coat.  The “miniskirt” sustained small but deep scratches to the starboard hull. No one was injured. The incident resulted from an inexperienced operator maneuvering his vessel in tight quarters in strong current.
