Investigation revealed : Vl was attempting to dock in slip located at All Seasons Marina. V2 was docked and unoccupied in slip at All Seasons Marina. While attempting to dock, Operator 1 accelerated her vessel more then expected due to the high winds. This caused Vl to subsequenty strike vessel 2 in the bow. Vl sustained minor damage to the aluminum railing and hull of the vessel. V2 sustained fiberglass damage to the bow of the vessel.
