  On 08/11/2021, sometime between 01:00 and 02:30p.m., these two vessels were on Puget Sound in Sinclair Inlet at the Port Orchard Marina, located near Port Orchard WA in Kitsap county.
  
  According to the Owner/Operator of V1, V1 Operator, on this date at about 02:20 p.m., he called the office at the Port Orchard Marina asking for assistance in berthing his vessel into Slip.  He indicated that he was an experienced boater and boat owner for much of his life.  V1 is a new boat and has its own unique handling.  In addition, his slip is on a narrow fairway and the slip is starboard tie, bow in with very little room for maneuverability.
  
  About 5 minutes after the call, two Marina employees were waiting at the slip to assist him.  With the vessel in neutral and still maintaining speed enough to turn, V1 Operator turned the vessel to starboard and coasted into the slip.  One marina employee caught a bow line.  A tossed stern line to the other employee missed.  
  
  Immediately V1 Operator’s vessel’s stern, pushed by a north wind and with his vessel pivoting on the bow line, swung its stern into the vessel (V2) on the other side of slip.  Bumpers on V1 came between V2 and his boat.  V1 Operator put the transmission in reverse to cut forward progress to zero.  His vessel continued to move slowly forward until transmission reverse stopped forward progress.  A second toss of the stern line to the marina employee was successful and V1 was tied off.  Upon inspection, no damage was sustained by V1.  
  
  The Owner of V2 reported that during docking, V1 swung and impacted his vessel (V2).  No one was on board V2 at the time of the accident.  He did not witness the impact and was informed later by Marina staff.  
  
  V2 sustained some cosmetic damage.  It is a wood boat with structural damage that will be accessed upon pull out.  Damage estimate is pending.
