RedactedNarrative: On 08/23/2015, at about 3:00 p.m., V1, operated by Operator1, was at the Port of Chinook boat launch located near Chinook, WA in Skagit county.  
  
  According to Operator1, he was next in line to pull this vessel (V1) out of the water.  They were in the East launch lane.  
  
  V2, Operator unknown, was in the West launch lane.  The Operator was pulling his vessel (V2) out of the water.  As soon as his trailer was out of the water, the boat rolled off the trailer because the safety chain had not been connected.  They had also neglected to lock their wench and it was spinning about 300 RPM.  V2 landed in the water.  The Operator got back on the boat, started it, and un-hooked from the trailer.  
  
  According to Operator1, the steady cross wind started blowing V2 into the East launch lane and into another boat that was loading onto its trailer.  Operator1 was on the dock because his trailer was next in line.  His wife was holding the bow and stern lines and the boat against the dock.  The Operator of V2 hit his throttle in reverse and started to lose control of his boat.  V2 was heading directly for V1.  Operator1 moved quickly towards his boat and stepped onto the bow.  By this time, V2 had already hit V1.  
  
  V2's Operator then put his throttle into full forward and lost control of his boat hitting Operator1 and his boat (V1) again.  Operator1 stuck his arm out and the cabin of V2 struck him causing strain to his arm, shoulder, and neck.  Operator1 did not need immediate medical attention.  
  
  At the same time, the Operator of V2 stuck his hand out between the two boats crushing his hand and severing his fingers.  The Port of Chinook Harbormaster and staff witnessed and responded immediately assisting the Operator of V2 who was going into shock. Within minutes Emergency Services showed up and was assisting the injured Operator of V2.  He was immediately loaded up into the ambulance and transported to Astoria.  
  
  Operator1 indicated that in all the confusion he never got the name of V2's Operator since he was incapacitated.
