RedactedNarrative: V2 was docked. V1 struck V2 while attempting to dock. V1 struck V2's engine with the front port side, cracking the cowling and causing V2 to hit the dock. V2 also had fiberglass damage on the starboard side where it struck the dock. 
  
  Accident was caused by strong winds and operator's lack of experience. 
  
  V1’s operator, Operator1, had little experience operating the rental boat and boats in general. The wind was 15-20 M.P.H. out of the N.E. V1 was attempting to dock in an open slip next to V2. Operator1 said he realized he could not fit into the slip and backed out. While trying to maneuver out away from the docks, V1 began being blown sideways by the wind and pushed back into the docks and other parked vessels. Operator1 stated that he thought he had enough room to turn the boat hard starboard and get out away from the dock. However, when he put the boat in gear and began moving forward, he struck V2’s engine cowling on the port side with the forward most part of the port pontoon. When V1 struck V2, it caused V2 to be pushed up against the dock on the starboard side. V2 sustained a crack in the fiberglass on the starboard side gunnel. The dock was not damaged in the accident. 
  
  
  Operator1 was issued a warning for a Navigation Rule violation (F.S. 327.33(3)(b)) Federal Code 33 USC 2001 ET. SEQ. Rule 8 (e)- action to avoid collision
