RedactedNarrative: On september 3, 2022, at approximately 2:00 pm, a boating incident occurred on lake norman at the north harbor club in davidson, nc. Vessel 1 is a 33-foot- 9-inch, 1987 cal 33 starcraft sailboat. Vessel 1 was docked at the time of the incident with the owner onboard. 
  
  Vessel 2 is a 25-foot- 5-inch, 2018 250 grand majestic premier. Vessel 2 has a starboard-side console, is owned by someone other than the operator. 
  
  Weather conditions were clear, waves were calm to choppy, moderate wind, the water temperature was approximately 85 degrees, and the air temperature was approximately 84 degrees.
  
  The pontoon cast off from a dock at approximately 1:00 pm with 4 other people on board. At approximately 2:00 pm, subject1 operated the pontoon into the north harbor club so she could practice docking and undocking. The north harbor club has a narrow channel and many boats are docked in this area. If heading into the cove, vessel 2 was docked to the left. To the right, there is another dock, creating a narrow channel. As subject1 approached the narrow channel, the wind pushed the pontoon boat towards the dock to the right. 
  
  Subject1 then allowed operator2 to operate to try and avoid the collision with the dock. Operator2 took over operation and immediately put the pontoon boat in reverse. Operator2 was unfamiliar with the throttle control on the pontoon boat and proceeded to give too much throttle while in reverse. The sudden change of direction and high throttle caused the cowling of the pontoon boat to strike the right side of vessel 2. 
  
  Due to the sudden change of direction and sudden impact, subject1 fell inside vessel 2, causing a break in her left wrist. No other parties involved were injured. After the incident, subject1 exchanged information with the owner of vessel 1 and went back to her residence to go to the hospital. At the time of the incident, v1 owner was on vessel 1 and witnessed the incident happen. V1 owner was jolted because of the impact but was not injured.
  
  The cowling on vessel 2 struck the midpoint of the starboard side on vessel 1. Vessel 2 has minor cosmetic and surface level damage on the cowling. No cracking or chipping was observed on vessel 2. Vessel 1 has minor surface level markings on the hull. No cracking or dents were observed in the fiberglass or gel coat. V1 owner viewed vessel 1 out of the water and concluded that there was no further damage and that the lower unit and propeller of vessel 2 did not strike vessel 1 under the surface of the water. 
  
  Due to operator inexperience, congested waters, and windy conditions, vessel 2 overcorrected on the throttle to attempt to avoid a collision with a dock. As a result, the cowling of vessel 2 struck the starboard side of vessel 1. Both vessels had surface level damage and no cracking or major damage was observed. The sudden change of speed, direction, and the impact caused subject1 to fall and break her left wrist. No one was charged as a result of this incident.
