RedactedNarrative: V1, operated by the owner, was attempting to back his vessel into his boat slip at Homeport Marina. There was a strong wind at the time and V1 lost control of his vessel striking V2 while in a forward operating position. V2 was tied up at his slip across from V1. No one was aboard V2 when the collision occurred. V1 struck V2 while in forward gear, pushing V2's stern into the side of the catwalk adjacent to his slip.
  
  V1 struck V2 with his anchor, which was secured to his bow pulpit. V1's anchor hit the port side of V2 near the bow, causing damage to the fiberglass deck, stainless steel bow rail, rub rail, and gel coat below the rub rail. V1 then backed into his slip and notified both the harbor master of the marina and eventually the owner of V2. 
  
  Subject advised that his throttle/shifter got stuck and he hit vessel in a forward direction while attempting to back into his slip. He and his wife, a passenger on his vessel, advised that it was very windy that day and it was difficult for Subject to maneuver the vessel against the wind. Subject provided a witness statement in which he indicated that his control was struck, causing him to strike V2, while backing up into his slip.
