RedactedNarrative: On Thursday, August 4th, 2022, at approximately 18:00 hours, Vessel 1 “V1” a 62 foot motor yacht struck moored Vessel 2, “V2” a 53 foot schooner, while attempting to dock at the St. Augustine Municipal Marina. 
  At approximately 1800 hours on Thursday, August 4th, 2022, OP1, captain of the “V1” V1, began his approach to the city marina. He contacted the marina by telephone and informed them he would be backing into his slip. He set his fenders out on the starboard side and moved into the marina.
  OP1 hadn’t prepared his approach properly for the conditions and approach and missed his slip on his first attempt. The wind and tide pushed him strongly toward the “V2” V2 and as he reversed to make a second approach, OP1 hit their port stern with his port stern swim platform.
  The wind and tide kept the “V1” against the “V2” as OP1 continued to reverse. His fenders were not out on the port side of his vessel and this caused scratches, gouges, and other damage from the stern of the “V2” V2 to almost the bow. 
  OP1 claimed to have experience with yachts but has owned the “V1” for less than a year. At 62 ft, the “V1” is a difficult size vessel to pilot without any crew. This was only the second time OP1 had been to the St. Augustine Municipal Marina and his previous visit was five years prior with a different vessel. These factors along with the current and wind at the time of the crash contributed to the accident.
