On 08/20/2023 at approximately 2:52pm Witness 1 was on the north dock of the Carlyle Lake West Access marina.  He heard a loud noise from the middle dock.  He observed a  24'' white Shappral operated by V1 Operator with one male and one female passenger.  V1 Operator was pulling into the slip on the north side of the south dock.  He noticed the tall mast on the Hunter sail boat in next slip on the center dock was moving side to side.  The Hunter sail boat was directly behind the white shappral.  V1 Operator and her two passengers tied off in the slip and left the marina.  Witness 1 suspected V1 Operator's watercraft might have hit the Hunter sail boat and contacted the harbor master, Witness 2.  Witness 2 and Witness 1 checked for damage on both watercraft.  A 1inch notch of fiberglass was missing from the front bow on the Hunter sail boat.
 
On 08/20/2023 at approximately 6:30pm I, CPO 1, met Witness 2 at his harbor office.  I received video footage of the incident along with contact information for both watercraft owners.  V1 Operator is the owner of the 24'' Shappral and V2 Owner is the owner of the Hunter sail boat. V1 Operator admitted to making contact with the Hunter sail boat.  She did not report the incident because she and her passengers (Passengers 1 and 2) did not notice any damage to her watercraft or to the Hunter sail boat.     
 
The 24'' Shappral operated by V1 Operator struck the moored 33'' Hunter sail boat in the Carlyle Lake West Access Marina.  V1 Operator was attempting to pull her 24'' Shappral into slip on the north side of the center dock.  She was unable to put her watercraft in the slip on the first attempt.  She repositioned her watercraft in reverse and then back to neutral.  V1 Operator's watercraft while in neutral continued to float back almost making contact with the bow of a moored 33'' Hunter Sail Boat.  V1 Operator placed the watercraft throttle forward while the wheel was turned to the left.  The stern of her watercraft spun starboard.  The end of the ladder on the swim platform from V1 Operator's watercraft, struck the tip of the bow on the Hunter sailboat from port to starboard.
On 08/25/2023 V1 Operator's boat insurance issued a $2,500.00 check to Witness 2 for the repair of the Hunter sail boat.
