While V-1 was maneuvering out of a boating slip, V-1 struck three unoccupied docked vessels. It was determined that the cause of the crash was due to lack of boater experience on behalf of the operator of V-1. The operator of V-1 was issued 3 uniformed boating citations. No injuries reported. 
PRECRASH:
V-1 was docked preparing to go underway. V-2 was docked unoccupied. V-3 was docked unoccupied. V-4 was docked at slip unoccupied.

CRASH: 
V-1 maneuvered out of slip bow facing North. Winds out of the West pushed V-1 sideways to the East with its bow still facing North. V-1 throttled in reverse and then throttled forward striking V-2 at the stern with V-1’s bow. V-1 then drifted back in reverse and struck V-3’s stern with its stern. V-1 then throttled up moving forward and struck V-4’s stern with its bow.
 
POST-CRASH:
V-1 then maneuvered out of the Trailer Estates Marina. V-2, V-3, and V4 remained docked at their respective slips.
