RedactedNarrative: On 06/04/20 at approximately 1:00 pm a boating incident occurred on lake wylie just north of the southpoint access area at the emerald point community dock. The incident occurred when a 20' regal operated struck another vessel that was docked on a floating lift. 
  
  Operator1 and her husband had been boating on lake wylie on their 20' 2016 regal on the morning of 06/04/20. They were returning to their slip at the dock located in front of the emerald point community. Occupant of v1 had gotten out onto the dock and was going to assist operator1 in securing the vessel once she operated it into their slip. 
  
  Operator1 operated the vessel into the slip and noticed that she was coming in at an angle instead of straight ahead. She intended to shift the vessel into reverse but instead shifted the vessel into forward and accelerated. 
  
  Operator1's vessel struck a docked vessel and the lift that it was on. The vessel she struck was unoccupied at the time of the collision. The other vessel involved was a 2015 23' nautique.  The impact caused fiberglass damage on the left side of nautique. A scuff could also be seen on the metal frame of boat lift.  The damage to the lift appeared to be cosmetic and superficial in nature. The damage to operator1's vessel was along the right side and mainly consisted of a puncture through the fiberglass caused by the impact with the corner of the boat lift. The incident involved property damage only and no persons were injured. It is to be noted that officers with the ncwrc were not notified of this incident until 06/07/20.
  
   in conclusion this incident was caused by operator inexperience. No one was charged as a result of this incident.
