RedactedNarrative: On March 2, 2018 around 11:00 a.m., two people were on their 40ft. sailboat, Easy Breezy, taking down the canvas due to the high winds that day.  Easy Breezy was docked at True World Marine in Core Creek adjacent to the travel lift pier.  
  
  At the same time, Operator2 and subject were on the 54ft. sportfishing boat, Twin Fin, in Core Creek.  Operator2 was operating the vessel and preparing to put it onto the travel lift pier.  Operator2 was coming from the North, traveling south towards the pier when his engine shut off.  He lost control of his vessel for about 4-5 seconds and the starboard side of Twin Fin rammed into the port stern side of Easy Breezy.  At that time, Operator2 was able to get the engine started and regained control of Twin Fin. He immediately put the vessel in reverse and separated from Easy Breezy.  Twin Fin headed back to the main channel and then came into the travel lift pier to get hauled out. 
  
  Standing on the travel lift dock was Twin Fin boat owner, who witnessed what happened.  He was standing with True World Marine employee, who was also a witness.  Subjects exchanged insurance and contact information.
  
  The cause of the incident is presumed to be mechanical failure.  No one was injured but the collision left a hole in the stern of Easy Breezy and damaged the canvas railing on the port stern side of the vessel.  V1 estimated the damage to his vessel to be $10,000.  Additionally, there were a few scrapes on the starboard side of Twin Fin's bow, which Operator2 estimated the damage to cost $100.  As a result of the incident, it was discovered that Operator2's vessel was not registered with the State of North Carolina so he received a citation, which were the only charges issued in this case.
  
  PLEASE NOTE:  THERE WAS NO OPERATOR OF VESSEL 1 AT THE TIME OF THIS INCIDENT AS THAT VESSEL WAS DOCKED.
