RedactedNarrative: Operator #1 Stated in Effect:  While attempting to pull away from the dock, I engaged the throttle into the forward position and the vessel accelerated faster than I anticipated.  I was unable to stop the vessel in time and I struck the vessel docked in front of me.
  
  Witness #1 Stated in Effect:  I observed that vessel attempting to pull away from the dock and strike a second vessel docked in front of it in the rear.  The impact caused the second vessel to strike a third vessel that was docked in front of the second.
  
  Investigation at Scene Revealed:  Operator #1 was operating V1 attempting to pull away from the dock at Lake Mohawk Boardwalk in a southbound direction.  V2 was legally docked by the owner in front of V1 facing southbound.  V3 was legally docked by the owner in front of V2 facing southbound.  
  
       Operator #1 was unaware that V1 was still tied off to the dock.  As Operator #1 continued to accelerate, the cleat on the dock broke free from the dock, causing V1 to propel forward abruptly.  This caused Operator #1 to lose control of V1 and strike V2 in the rear center portion of the swim platform of the vessel.  The impact caused V2 to continue to travel south and strike V3 in the rear cent portion of the stern of the vessel.  All three vessels suffered minor damage.  No injuries sustained as a result of the accident.
