RedactedNarrative: Investigation revealed:  Operator #1 was towing a vessel into the Monterey Drive Lagoon.  The towed vessel had mechanical problems at the time and was not being operated.  The vessel was being towed with a long tow line that went slack as the turn was made into the lagoon.  Due to this action, the towed vessel continued towards a dock on the north side of the lagoon. The operator of vessel #1 tried to compensate for the towed vessels direction of travel by adding throttle.  This added speed made the towed vessel strike the outside corner of the dock with the anchor and the forward starboard side of the bow.  Substantial damage occurred to the dock.  The towed vessel sustained a 3 foot gouge to the forward starboard side of the bow halfway up the freeboard.  No injuries report at scene. 
  
  Towed vessel information:  2008, 31 foot Scout Cabin;  The owner was not on his vessel at the time of the incident, but was made aware.
