RedactedNarrative: On Monday, June 15 at approximately 7:30 AM, I was preparing to depart slip ClO at the Avalon Marine Center in MV Schatzi, 42 foot Grand Banks Classic, from a sterning position.
  
   The slip was facing south, the winds were from the north, and the current was from the south. I was at the helm on the fly-bridge and the lines were handled by my passengers and crew mates. Visibility was excellent and there was no precipitation. 
  
  As we exited the slip and turned to port eastward, The current appeared much stronger than expected and hewed the boat to port. It appeared that an collision was imminent and Subject1 attempted to push the boat off of the bow of MV Low Profile which was tied up in a slip on C dock. 
  
  Subject1 sustained blunt impact to the right anterior thorax. The momentum of the vessel carried us further to the port and forward and the pulpit and anchor of MV Silverback, moored in a slip to the port or MV Low Profile, struck and engaged the port bow gunwale of Schatzi. 
  
  Since the vessel was engaged under the anchor and bowsprit of Silverback at this point all controls were neutralized and help was summoned from marina personnel and Sea-Tow. The vessel was towed clear of the docks and cut loose and then proceeded under its own power to the east end of B dock. Subject1 was able to ambulate under his own power to a private vehicle and went to the emergency room at Cape Regional Medical Center. 
  
  Vessel #2 was unoccupied in slip 14 on C Dock. 
  Vessel #3 was occupied in slip 16 on C Dock and its owner within the cabin. The owner stated to the effect that he was inside when he heard a loud bang and assumed it was thundering outside. Then he heard it again and went outside to see another boat against his bow. 
  Vessel #4 was unoccupied dock end ofC Dock. 
  
  Investigation revealed: 
  Vessel #1, a 1986 Grand Banks Classic, was secured to the dock in slip 10 on C Dock facing southbound located at the Avalon Marine Center in Avalon Boro, Cape May County. Vessel# 1 then began to depart the slip southbound. 
  
  As Vessel #1 began to clear the end pilings, Operator #1 adjusted course to the port side towards the east. Upon adjusting course, the strong wind and tide became a factor and Operator #1 was unable to maintain directional control of Vessel #1. 
  
  As a result, Vessel #1 continued to turn towards its port side and impacted the end piling of slip Cl0 and subsequently the bow of Vessel #2. After the initial impacts, Vessel #1 continued its forward momentum and impacted the pulpit of Vessel #3. After the secondary impact, Vessel #1 continued its forward progress causing damage to its own rails, windows, gunwale, and door before impacting the outboard engine of Vessel #4. Vessel #1 came to a final rest with its port gunwale against the pulpit of Vessel #3 with its anchor lodged into the gunwale. 
  
  Sea-Tow Avalon arrived on scene and provided assistance in separating Vessel #1 and Vessel #3. Vessel #1 sustained significant damage to its port side railing, gunwale, cabin windows, and cabin door. It was secured by its owner on the dock end ofB Dock. Vessel #2 sustained gouges to its bow and remained secured in slip ofC Dock. Vessel #3 sustained significant damage to the pulpit, stainless steel protection plate, and anchor. It remained secured in slip of C Dock. Vessel #4 sustained damage to its outboard engine and remained secured to the end of C Dock.
   
  One injury was reported. Victim #1, who was a crew mate on board Vessel #1, attempted to avoid the impact with Vessel #2 by trying to push away from the vessel. Victim #1 was unable push off and impacted the bow of Vessel #2 with his chest sustaining internal injuries. Victim #1 sought medical treatment at Cape Regional Medical Center via a privately owned vehicle. No additional injuries were reported. Vessel #2 owner received a complaint summons for having an unregistered Documented Vessel within New Jersey.
