RedactedNarrative: On may 7th 2016 at approximately 1429 hours, operator1 was backing out of her boat slip at the sailcraft marina.  She was aboard her vessel, the bijou (vessel number 1).  At the time of the incident vessel number 1 had onboard three persons including the operator operator1.  
  
  As vessel number 1 began to back out of its slip in the marina, operator1 said the throttle of vessel number 1 seemed to get stuck and hard to use causing the vessel to continue in reverse.  
  
  Vessel number 1 then struck a parked sailboat named "the simple life" (vessel number 2).  Vessel number 1 struck vessel number 2 along the bow and then bumped along the starboard side of vessel number 2.  
  
  Vessel 1 sustained damage to the stern breaking the railing and damaged the wood along the gunnel.  The owners of vessel number 2 tried to keep vessel number 1 off their vessel, but could not stop vessel number 1 from colliding into vessel number 2.  
  
  The owners of vessel number 2 called their insurance company and also called the coast guard informing them of the accident.  The owners of vessel number 2 are concerned that there may be more damage below the waterline.  Vessel number 2 may have damage below the waterline but that can't be seen till the vessel is placed into dry dock.  Both vessels did not take on any water.  Both owners exchanged information and an insurance adjuster was sent to look at vessel number 2.  There was no impairment involved during the time of the incident.
